Notes: Protein Synthesis Objective: What are the steps involved in protein synthesis?
Notes: Protein Synthesis Instructions: Notes: Protein Synthesis 1 2 3 4 5 6 Take the page and divide it into 6 equal boxes Number the boxes
Title Box 1: What is the central dogma of biology? Replication DNA Transcription RNA Translation Protein (amino acid)
Title Box 2: What are the steps involved in protein synthesis? “making a protein” Step 1. Transcription Step 2. Translation DNA to mRNA mRNA to protein
Title Box 3: What happens during transcription? Part of DNA unwinds One strand of DNA acts as template and gets “transcribed” into mRNA When finished leaves nucleus and enters cytoplasm
Title Box 4: What happens during translation? mRNA attaches to ribosome in cytoplasm Ribosome reads mRNA 3 bases at a time (codon) tRNA brings amino acid and protein chain gets build
Title Box 5: How do proteins determine traits? Genes = sequence of DNA that codes for a protein Alleles = different forms of a gene Different order in amino acids = different proteins = different traits
How are proteins made from DNA? Title Box 6: Summary Answer the following questions within this box: How are proteins made from DNA? Answer in 2-3 complete sentences Highlight and # the periods Use the following words: DNA, mRNA, transcription and translation
