The Central Dogma DNA RNA Amino Acid (Protein)
Figure 14.3 RNA is a lot like DNA, except: 1. Ribose 2. Uracil 3. Single Strand *Can leave the nucleus, carries the "message"
Every 3 bases on mRNA (messenger RNA) is called a CODON Each CODON specifies one AMINO ACID Chains of amino acids are proteins (ex. hemoglobin) Figure 14.5
TRANSCRIPTION: The process where mRNA is made from DNA Follows base-pair rule has uracil instead of thymine RNA polymerase is used to build the strand of RNA Figure 14.6

Translation: process by which protein is built from the mRNA tRNA is used to build an amino acid chain Each 3 bases on mRNA codes for a single amino acid.
3 bases on mRNA = a codon Matching 3 bases on tRNA = anticodon tRNA has a single attached amino acid
Translation occurs on the ribosome mRNA is threaded through the small and large subunit
Each tRNA delivers an amino acid which binds to the previous amino acid, eventually forming a long chain .....a PROTEIN
All genes start with AUG, also called the START CODON It attaches to anticodon UAC and the amino acid methionine

Trisomy 18 - Edward's Syndrome • Failure to grow and gain weight at the expected rate and severe feeding difficulties, diminished muscle tone and episodes in which there is temporary cessation of spontaneous breathing • Developmental delays and intellectual disability • A prominent back portion of the head, low-set, malformed ears, an abnormally small jaw, a small mouth an upturned nose, narrow eyelid folds, widely spaced eyes, and drooping of the upper eyelids
TRISOMY 13 (also known as Patau syndrome) - Of all babies born with the extra copy of chromosome 13 in all the cells of their body, around 50% die in the first month, and the rest within the first year Median survival age for children with Patau syndrome is 2.5 days
