1 Introduction to Gene Expression
pp

2

3 (contains thousands of genes)
RNA vs. DNA RNA and DNA both store genetic information, but are still different RNA DNA Ribose Deoxyribose Uracil Thymine Single Stranded Double Stranded Short (contains one gene) Long (contains thousands of genes)

4

5 Types of RNA mRNA (Messenger RNA): carries instructions to make a protein rRNA (Ribosomal RNA): part of ribosome tRNA (Transfer RNA): transfers amino acids to ribosomes

6 Gene Expression A gene is a segment of DNA that holds the instructions for a trait A trait is made up of proteins Expressing a gene means that the cell is making a protein

7 Overview DNA  RNA  Protein
The process of copying DNA to make RNA and then the RNA is decoded to make a protein

RNA and Protein Synthesis
A. There are three key differences between RNA and DNA 1. RNA is single stranded : DNA is double stranded 2. RNA is made of the sugar Ribose – DNA is.

DNA : The Genetic Code. What is the “genetic code”? A set of instructions that tells the cell how to build all of the components that make you!
