2.  Made up of amino acids  DNA codes for RNA which makes proteins

3.  Double stranded vs. Single stranded  Deoxyribose sugar vs Ribose sugar  Thymine vs Uracil  A now bonds with U NOT with T in RNA

4.  Travels from nucleus to cytoplasm  “Reads” DNA in nucleus  Brings message from nucleus to ribosome

5.  Found in ribosomes  Reads the message mRNA brought  Tells tRNA what to do  “Boss” of the RNA

6.  Found in cytoplasm  Listens to rRNA  Brings correct amino acid to the ribosomes  Allows a protein to be built  “Workers” of RNA

7.  Going from DNA to mRNA  AAATTTCCCGGG  UUUAAAGGGCCC  End result = One single stranded RNA

8.  We have 20 amino acids in us  Every 3 nucleotides (letters) codes for 1 amino acid  Called a codon  EX: UUU = phenylalanine  64 possible codons  Some codons code instructions, not amino acids  UAA = stop  AUG = start

10.  Going from mRNA to a protein  Happens in ribosomes
