DNA and RNA
DeoxyriboNucleic Acid 4 Base pairs A-T C-G Genetic blueprint for Functioning
DNA structure Double Helix Encoded with base pairs that translate into readable information
DNA purposes Protect and Store genetic information 2. Protein synthesis (Make Proteins)
Protein synthesis The process of making proteins from DNA DNA->mRNA->tRNA ->amino acid -> protein
DNA Codon will get read 3 nucleotides which encode into a amino acid
RNA: Ribonucleic acid (Single stranded) -transcripted form of DNA RNA= Uracil A-U (Apple for yoU) DNA = Thymine
RNA to Protein to Gene expression Transcription: DNA is transcribed into mRNA. (messenger) Translation: mRNA is translated by tRNA and assembled into an chain of amino acids
Amino Acids Special organic molecules used by living organisms to make proteins “Mini Lego Pieces”
Proteins Long chains of amino acids that perform a unique function Shape and size matters
Gene Expression (showing off) When a trait is visible/activated by an organism Proteins express genes(traits)
