Gene Mutations, RNA and Protein Synthesis
Type of Gene Mutations
Protein Vocab Review Synthesis Building Monomers: Amino Acids 20
AA Sequence= Function
Nucleus: DNA Ribosomes: Protein Synthesis
Making Proteins Instructions: DNA DNA = Big Molecule Smaller molecule to carry message RNA
DNA v. RNA RNA DNA Ribose Deoxyribose A,U,C,G A,T,C,G Single Helix Double Helix
Protein Synthesis Nuclear Membrane with Pores
In the Nucleus
Transcription DNA message transcribed into RNA Messenger RNA (mRNA) leaves nucleus
Protein Synthesis Nuclear Membrane with Pores
In the Ribosome VAL LYS GLY
Translation tRNA reads CODONS from mRNA Picks up free amino acids Returns amino acids to ribosome Connect amino acids into proteins
Creative Thinking Explain PROTEIN SYNTHESIS by: Writing a paragraph Drawing a comic strip or picture Writing a play or script Creating a detailed PowerPoint (no copied text) Be sure to include transcription and translation, DNA, mRNA and tRNA, nucleus and ribosomes
