Protein Synthesis
Synthesis= the process of building or making DNA= (deoxyribonucleic acid) the genetic code or instructions for the cell RNA= ribonucleic acid Amino Acids= building blocks of proteins
DNARNA Deoxyribonucleic AcidRibonucleic Acid Sugar=deoxyriboseSugar= ribose Contains 1 more H atom than deoxyribose Double strandedSingle stranded- a single strand of nucleotides Nitrogen bases: ATCGNitrogen bases: AUCG U=Uracil

STEP 1: TRANSCRIPTION= making RNA Location: Eukaryotes-nucleus Prokaryotes-cytoplasm 1. RNA polymerase binds to the gene’s promoter 2. The two DNA strands unwind and separate. 3. Complementary nucleotides are added using the base pairing rules EXCEPT: A=U The rest are the same C=G, T=A, G=C
Try this example. Using the following DNA sequence, what would be the complementary RNA sequence? ATCCGTAATTATGGC UAGGCAUUAAUACCG
1. Messenger RNA= mRNA is a form of RNA that carries the instructions for making the protein from a gene and delivers it to the site of translation. Codon= three nucleotide sequence Transfer RNA= tRNA single strands of RNA that temporarily carry a specific amino acid on one end and has an anticodon Anticodon-a 3 nucleotide sequence that is complementary to an mRNA codon Ribosomal RNA= rRNA- a part of the structure of ribosomes

STEP 2-TRANSLATION- Assembling proteins- in the cytoplasm mRNA leaves nucleus and enters cytoplasm tRNA molecules with the complementary anticodon and a specific amino acid arrives at the ribosome where the mRNA is waiting. Peptide bond forms between amino acids tRNA molecule leaves and a new one comes with another amino acid. Amino acids continue to attach together until the stop codon and a protein is formed
SUMMARY Transcription= process of making RNA from DNA Translation= RNA directions are used to make a protein from amino acids DNA RNA Protein Transcription Translation nucleus Cytoplasm on ribosome

DNA ReplicationRNA Transcription DNA polymerase is used.RNA polymerase is used. DNA nucleotides are linked. RNA nucleotides are linked. A DNA molecule is made. An RNA molecule is made. Both DNA strands serve as templates. Only one part of one strand of DNA ( a gene) is used as a template.
