Protein Synthesis: Transcription and Translation DNA Codes for Protein Today’s goal: Learn howproteins are made and how they are connected to the DNA code.
Deciphering Codes • DNA is the Universal Language of life. • DNA is the Universal Language of life. • DNA is the Code – it includes the secret instructions for making proteins!
Chromosomes • Coiled DNA and protein • Contain Genes? • Genes code for protein
Transcription • Taking notes • DNA is transcribedinto mRNA by RNA polymerase • A = U • Animation
Translation • Building protein • mRNA translatedinto protein • tRNA carries amino acids
