Proteins directly Not • are built transfer info • from genes. DNA the to RNA • another nucleic acid called . Picture complements of www-ics.u-strasbg.fr/~etsp/lecture/mbio/glos.php
Types of RNA Messenger RNA, carriers and delivers the info from DNA • mRNA - • tRNA - TransferRna, helps ribosomes read mRNA by bringing “AA”
Two Main Processes • - which is when gets Transcription mRNA DNA • information from . Translation • - when a ribosome reads mRNA • in order to make an Amino Acid (AA) chain • which makes up a protein.
Where it Occurs. Transcription • - is a process that occurs in the nucleus.
Transcription • - enzyme unwinds DNA and uses one strand as a template to make RNA RNA Polymerase
Where it Occurs. • - occurs in the cytoplasm. Translation
tRNA 3 1 • bases = Amino Acid(s) (AA) which is called a codon. Amino acid ____ tRNA anticodon
Translation MET ____ ribosome E P A U A C U C A C C A G U A U G G A A anticodon m RNA
