1. DNA Function Chp. 10 Biology

3. RNA- (ribonucleic acid) RNA- (ribonucleic acid) – Plays several roles in the manufacture of proteins – Made of nucleotides – Nitrogenous bases A, U, C, and G A gene is a long section of a DNA molecule whose sequence of building blocks specifies the sequence of amino acids in a particular protein. A gene is a long section of a DNA molecule whose sequence of building blocks specifies the sequence of amino acids in a particular protein. Protein- fundamental component of living cells Protein- fundamental component of living cells  Enzymes  Hormones  Antibodies  Hemoglobin  Insulin Background Vocab

4. How does DNA work DNA (nucleic acid)  RNA  DNA (nucleic acid)  RNA  Amino Acids – building blocks of Proteins  Amino Acids – building blocks of Proteins  Protein  Do a job (perform a function) Protein  Do a job (perform a function) Analogy to remember what’s going on, build a house Analogy to remember what’s going on, build a house – DNA is the blue prints (instructions) – Amino Acids are the lumber – Proteins are the house…

5. How are genes Expressed? Protein Synthesis from DNA- Chp. 10

7. Transcription vs. Translation Transcription in the nucleusTranscription in the nucleus –Make mRNA from DNA –DNA  mRNA Translation in the cytoplasmTranslation in the cytoplasm –Make Proteins at the ribosome –mRNA  proteins –“translate a language” nucleic acid  amino acidnucleic acid  amino acid

8. Transcription Translation Translating nucleic acid language to amino acid language ? ?
