RNA. Ribonucleic Acid. Single nucleotide strand Sugar : Ribose 4 Bases: A: Adenine G: Guanine C: Cytosine U: Uracil U replaces T Three Types of RNA. Messenger RNA. mRNA Function : Copies the DNA code and moves to a ribosome Allows ribosome to create a protein

Ribonucleic Acid • Single nucleotide strand • Sugar: Ribose • 4 Bases: • A: Adenine • G: Guanine • C: Cytosine • U: Uracil • U replaces T • Three Types of RNA
Messenger RNA • mRNA • Function: Copies the DNA code and moves to a ribosome • Allows ribosome to create a protein • Location: Starts in nucleus… moves to ribosome
Transfer RNA Amino acid Proline Amino acid Serine • tRNA • Function: Transfers amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosome • Ribosome will link amino acids together to form a protein • Location: Cytoplasm
Ribosomal RNA • rRNA • Function: components of ribosomes
U| Defined: Process of making mRNA from DNA Step 1: RNA Polymerase separates the DNA nucleotides Step 2: Free floating RNA nucleotides match with the DNA Reminder: U replaces T Step 3: mRNA breaks free in separate pieces Step 4: mRNA processing takes place Unused portions (introns) are removed and the used portions (exons) bond together Step 5: Final mRNA strand travels to ribosome Step 6: DNA recombines to be used again G| Transcription G| C| A| A| G| U| C| A| U| U| C|
Step 2: Free floating mRNA nucleotides match up Step 1: RNA polymerase splits the DNA Step 5 & 6: mRNA travels to ribosome and DNA reconnects Step 3: mRNA breaks free Step 4: Remaining exons bond together RNA polymerase

Double Stranded Sugar: Deoxyribose Bases: A T C G Location: Nucleus DNA vs. RNA • Single strand • Sugar: Ribose • Bases: A U C G • Location: Nucleus & Cytoplasm
Kobe Kuiz • Name three different ways that DNA and RNA differ. • Which RNA: • is found inside the nucleus? • transports amino acids to the ribosome? • exits the nucleus to the ribosome? • copies the DNA code? • makes up the structure of ribosomes? • Perform transcription by using the following piece of DNA. Introns are underlined. Write the final strand of mRNA created. T A C C G T A C A A T G G G A T C
