Presentation Transcript

  1. FL #24 tRNA’s Role in Protein Synthesis Single Stranded RNA DNA Double Helix

  2. DNA & RNA Standard 4A Know the general pathway by which ribosomes synthesize proteins, using tRNAs to translate genetic information in mRNA. Translation

  3. Translation Different Hyperlink #2 tRNA Molecules

  4. The Genetic Code

  5. Translation It is the job of the ribosomes to read the mRNA so that the correct sequence and number of amino acids are assembled into the proper proteins. This decoding of mRNA message into a polypeptide chain (protein) is calledtranslation.

  6. Click on video camera for translation of a protein from mRNA.

  7. The Genetic Code

  8. The genetic code is read three nitrogenous bases at a time, so that each “word” of the coded message is three bases long. Each three-letter “word” in mRNA is known as a codon.

  9. The tRNA anticodon is complementary to the mRNA codon. In the case of the tRNA molecule for methionine, the anticodon bases are UAC, which pair with the methionine codon, AUG,The ribosome has a second binding site for a tRNA molecule for the next codon.

  10. Click on video camera for translation of a protein from mRNA.

  11. 1. Which type of RNA functions as the blueprint of the genetic code? • rRNA • tRNA • nRNA • mRNA

  12. 2. (DNA & RNA Standard 4a) What happens during the process of translation? A. Messenger RNA is made from DNA B. The cell uses information from mRNA to produce proteins. B. The cell uses information from mRNA to produce proteins. C. tRNA is made from mRNA D. Copies of DNA molecules are made

  13. 3. Which type of RNA codes for a single amino acid? • rRNA • tRNA • nRNA • mRNA tRNA

  14. 4. What part of the tRNA codes for that specific single amino acid? • codon • tRNA • anticodon • mRNA

  15. 5. The anticodon CAG is complementary to this codon? • CTU • GUC • GCG • ATA

  16. 6. During translation, the type of amino acid that is added to the growing polypeptide, depends on the? • codon on mRNA • anticodon on the mRNA • anticodon on tRNA & codon on mRNA • rRNA • C. anticodon on tRNA & ..codon on mRNA

  17. A B C 7. Which type of RNA above contains the code for assembling amino acids in correct sequence? A. B. C. D.
