1. Overview of Transcription & Translation
The story of protein synthesis

2. Where is DNA located?
In the nucleus

3. Can it get out of the nucleus?
NO!

4. How does the DNA get the information out?
mRNA
Takes info. to the ribosome

5. RNA polymerase adds complementary bases to the DNA
How is the mRNA made?
RNA polymerase adds complementary bases to the DNA

6. How is RNA different than DNA?
RNA= ribonucleic acid
sugar=ribose
one strand
nitrogen bases
-U,A,C,G
DNA=Deoxyribonucleic acid
Sugar=deoxyribose
2 strands
Nitrogen bases -A,G,C,T

7. What does the ribosome do?
Makes proteins

8. What is a protein made out of?
Amino Acids

9. What goes to get the amino acids and bring them to the ribosome?
tRNA

10. What kind of bonds form between amino acids?
Peptide bonds
