Explore the process of protein synthesis, from the genotype to phenotype, including the differences between RNA and DNA, transcription, splicing, and translation.
E N D
Nucleic Acids Differences RNA DNA Double stranded helix Has Ts Stays only in the nucleus Deoxyribose sugar • Single strand • Has Us • Can leave the nucleus • Ribose sugar
3 types of RNA • Messenger RNA (mRNA)-is made by copying the DNA • Takes strand message to ribosome • Transfer RNA (tRNA)-carries the correct amino acid to the ribosome from the cytoplasm • Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)-makes up the ribosome
Transcription • Where: Nucleus • What: takes the DNA message and makes mRNA • Why: DNA can’t leave the nucleus but the message must get to the ribosome • You are now using U’s no T’s. • RNA polymerase • Enzyme that brings in RNA nucleotides to match up with DNA

SPLICING Before the mRNA can go to the ribosome, it needs to be spliced. • The junk (parts of the DNA that are noncoding regions) called introns need to be cut out. • Exons (coding regions) are then stuck together. This is the correct concise message.
Translation • Where: ribosome • What: tRNA brings in amino acids to the ribosome • tRNA anticodon: 3 bases that are complementary to mRNA • All mRNA start with the codon AUG • Protein Synthesis stops when a stop codon is reached.
What determines what amino acid is attached to the tRNA? • Is it mRNA or tRNA? mRNA

Does it matter what order the amino acids are in? • The order of amino acids dictates the shape of the protein. • The shape determines the function of the protein. • Wrong order, wrong shape, no function • http://www.lew-port.com/10712041113402793/lib/10712041113402793/Animations/Protein%20Synthesis%20%20long.swf
