12.3 DNA, RNA, and Protein Molecular Genetics Central Dogma RNA Contains the sugar ribose and the base uracil Usually is single stranded Chapter 12 DNA to RNA…RNA to Protein
RNA vs. DNA RNA Sugar: Ribose Bases: Adenine & Uracil Strands: Single DNA Sugar: Deoxyribose Bases: Adenine & Thymine Strands: Double
Molecular Genetics Messenger RNA (mRNA) Long strands of RNA nucleotides that are formed complementary to one strand of DNA Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) Associates with proteins to form ribosomes in the cytoplasm Transfer RNA (tRNA) Smaller segments of RNA nucleotides that transport amino acids to the ribosome 12.3 DNA, RNA, and Protein Chapter 12

DNA is unzipped in the nucleus and RNA polymerase binds to a specific section where an mRNA will be synthesized. Molecular Genetics Transcription Through transcription, the DNA code is transferred to mRNA in the nucleus DNA, RNA, and Protein Chapter 12

Molecular Genetics The Code Experiments during the 1960s demonstrated that the DNA code was a three-base code. The three-base code in DNA or mRNA is called a codon DNA, RNA, and Protein Chapter 12
Molecular Genetics Translation In translation, tRNA molecules act as the interpreters of the mRNA codon sequence. At the middle of the folded strand, there is a three-base coding sequence called the anticodon. Each anticodon is complementary to a codon on the mRNA DNA, RNA, and Protein Chapter 12
