The Genetic Code

The genetic code is the “language” of mRNA instructions. The code is written using four “letters” (the bases: A, U, C, and G). A _________ consists of three consecutive nucleotides on mRNA that specify a particular amino acid. codon

Each codon specifies a __________ amino acid that is to be placed on the polypeptide chain. Some amino acids can be specified by more than _________ codon. particular one

There is one codon _______that can either specify the amino acid methionine or serve as a “start” codon for protein synthesis. AUG There are ________ “stop” codons that do not code for any amino acid. These “stop” codons signify the end of a polypeptide. three

Translation is the __________ of an mRNA message into a polypeptide chain (protein). decoding Translation takes place on ribosomes. During translation, the cell uses information from messenger RNA to produce proteins.

Messenger RNA is ______________ in the nucleus, and then enters the cytoplasm where it ______________ to a ribosome. transcribed attaches Translation begins when an mRNA molecule attaches to a ____________. ribosome

As each codon of the mRNA molecule moves through the_____________, the proper amino acid is brought into the ribosome by tRNA. ribosome

In the ribosome, the ___________ is transferred to the growing polypeptide chain. Amino acid Each tRNA molecule ____________ only one kind of amino acid. In addition to an amino acid, each tRNA molecule has ______ unpaired bases. carries three

These bases, called the ___________, are complementary to one mRNA codon. The ribosome binds new tRNA molecules and amino acids as it moves along the mRNA. anticodon The process __________ until the ribosome reaches a stop codon. continues

The Roles of RNA and DNA The cell uses the DNA “master plan” to prepare RNA “_________.” The DNA stays in the ___________. blueprint nucleus protein The RNA molecules go to the ______ building sites in the cytoplasm—the ribosomes.

Genes and Proteins Genes contain instructions for assembling________. Many proteins are enzymes, which catalyze and _________ chemical reactions. proteins regulate

component template protein Proteins are each specifically designed to build or operate a _____________ of a living cell. The sequence of bases in DNA is used as a ______________ for mRNA. component template The codons of mRNA specify the sequence of amino acids in a __________________. protein
