Central dogma • DNA is used to make RNA, and RNA is used to make proteins. DNA RNA protein transcription translation
TRanscription • Occurs in nucleus • RNA polymerase copies a gene from DNA • DNA used as a template • mRNA created, then leaves the nucleus
TRanscription (see video)
translation (see video)
translation • Occurs on a ribosome • 1. Ribosome uses rRNA to find start codon (sets the reading frame) • 2. First tRNAwith complimentary anti-codon attaches • 3. Next tRNA with complimentary anti-codon attaches • 4. Ribosome joins together the amino acids the tRNA molecules are carrying • 5. The ribosome continues joining amino acids until a special “stop” codon is reached
