Transcription and Translation
DNA RNA Protein TranscriptionTranslation
mRNA makes a copy of the DNA strand! Adenine Base Pairs with Uracil Base Pairs with Guanine Base Pairs with Cytosine Base Pairs with Thymine Adenine Cytosine Guanine
At the ribosome, mRNA is “translated” in sets of three nucleotides called codons. tRNA matches the correct amino acid to its codon using an anticodon (complementary base pair) The codon CCG has an anticodon The codon AUG has an anticodon Chains of amino acids are PROTEINS!!! GGC UAC
