1. LO: SWBAT describe the connection between DNA and proteins DN: What is a protein? What are the building blocks of proteins? HW: Castle Learning- DNA

2. Proteins Long chains (polymers) of They are formed from different amino acids. Amino acids 20

3. REMEMBER –The of amino acids influences the proteins shape. –The shape of a protein gives it it’s sequence function

4. DNA-PROTEIN CONNECTION contain coded information This information is used to make that are required for it’s shape and function. Genes proteins

5. Where does protein synthesis take place? RIBOSOMES

6. Ribosomes construct proteins bases on the cell’s code. Parent and offspring produce similar - that is why there is between them. They produce similar genetic Characteristics/traits resemblance proteins

8. Proteins are made using a person’s (DNA) In order to do this, is used genetic code RNA

9. stranded. Nitrogenous bases are: –A- adenine –U- uracil –C- cytosine –G- guanine Instead of T (thymine), A pairs up with U (uracil) Ribonucleic Acid Ribose (sugar) single

10. Fill in the RNA strand: DNA : C A G A T G T A A C T G T A A C T RNA : G U C U A C A U U G A C A U U G A **T from the DNA strand will still pair up with on the RNA strand, but A on the DNA strand will pair up with on the RNA strand. A U

11. There are two types of RNA. Both of them help with protein synthesis

12. Messenger RNA (mRNA) Copies genetic code from This is called Brings code to *** remember, when it copies the code from DNA, A will pair up with - there will not by any in RNA. DNA transcription ribosome U T

13. Transfer RNA (tRNA) Brings to the ribosome for protein assembly. This is called amino acids translation

14. Comparing DNA and RNA DNABOTHRNA Double stranded larger single stranded smaller thymine uracil deoxyribose ribose nucleus 2 types mRNA and tRNA Genetic information Nucleic Acid Nucleotides (sugar, phosphate, base)

15. 1. DNA controls cellular activities most directly by coding for the synthesis of a. inorganic compoundsc. carbohydrates b. enzymesd. fatty acids 2. Which base is normally found in the synthesis of RNA but not in the synthesis of DNA? a. adeninec. uracil b. cytosined. guanine 3.The care of a virus may contain either DNA or RNA. To identify which nucleic acid is present, a biochemist could chemically analyze the virus for the presence of a. guaninec. cytosine b. ribosed. phosphate

16. 4. Which of the following nucleic acids are composed of nucleotides? a. DNA onlyc. Messenger RNA only b. Transfer RNA onlyd. DNA, mRNA, and tRNA 5. one similarity between DNA and mRNA is that they both contain a. the same sugarc. uracil b. double stranded polymersd. genetic code based on sequences of bases
