Notes: Protein Synthesis 1 2 3 4 5 6
Take the page and divide it into 6 equal boxes
Number the boxes

3. Title Box 1: What is the central dogma of biology?
Replication
DNA
Transcription
RNA
Translation
Protein (amino acid)

4. Title Box 2: What are the steps involved in protein synthesis?
“making a protein”
Step 1. Transcription
Step 2. Translation
DNA to mRNA
mRNA to protein

5. Title Box 3: What happens during transcription?
Part of DNA unwinds
One strand of DNA acts as template and gets “transcribed” into mRNA
When finished leaves nucleus and enters cytoplasm

6. Title Box 4: What happens during translation?
mRNA attaches to ribosome in cytoplasm
Ribosome reads mRNA 3 bases at a time (codon)
tRNA brings amino acid and protein chain gets build

7. Title Box 5: How do proteins determine traits?
Genes = sequence of DNA that codes for a protein
Alleles = different forms of a gene
Different order in amino acids = different proteins = different traits

8. How are proteins made from DNA?
Title Box 6: Summary
