1. Gene Expression

2. Transcription of RNA
Process of making mRNA from a DNA sequence (gene)

3. Genetic Code Genes are read in groups of 3 bases called a codon.
Each codon (on mRNA) specifies a specific amino acid
Codon & Anticodon (tRNA) match up and add amino acid to the building chain
Amino acids are linked together to form proteins

4. Translation & Protein Synthesis
How a cell makes proteins
Proteins are important because:
They build body structures
Are enzymes that controls the body’s chemical reactions

5. Using the codon wheel or chart
AGC GTG CCA (DNA)
UCG CAC GGU (mRNA) Codons
AGC GUG CCA (tRNA) Anticodons
Serine –histidine- glycine (amino acid sequence
