DNA to PROTEIN • 2 step process of transcription and translation
Protein Synthesis: >Transcription & Translation • DNA contains all the information for your traits – in the form of genes • These genes are blueprints and need to remain safe – kept inside the nucleus • Copies can be made through – a messenger • Form proteins (polymers) from the buildingblocks – amino acids (monomers)
Genotype Phenotype (genetic) (observable) DNA mRNA tRNA PROTEIN Transcription Translation
Transcription – making mRNA from DNA in the nucleus • mRNA – stands for messenger RNA • it is the copy of the DNAmessage for making a protein • Occurs in the nucleus only
Transcription Section 12-3 Adenine (DNA and RNA) Cystosine (DNA and RNA) Guanine(DNA and RNA) Thymine (DNA only) Uracil (RNA only) RNApolymerase DNA RNA
Transcription(Steps) • DNA “unzips” – helicases separate DNA molecule • Free-floating RNA w/in the nucleus attach to complementary DNA base pairs • Covalent bonds form b/w sugar-phosphate backbone • mRNA is released • DNA zips back up
mRNA • Transcribes DNA message and carries it to ribosomes • RNApolymerase is the enzyme that matches up the base pairs • No T (thymine) so when it reads the nucleotide A on DNA it matches it with U (Uracil). CLICK ON PICTURE FOR ANIMATION ON TRANSCRIPTION
Translation – using mRNA and tRNA to make proteins • Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis • Click here to see mRNA and tRNA work together at that ribosome to build a protein
Codon = 3 mRNA nucleotides (bases)Anti-codon = 3 tRNA nucleotides (bases)

Review – by now you should know… • structure of DNA • How DNA replicates • Differences b/w DNA & RNA • Steps of Transcription & Translation • Parts of tRNA • 3 types of RNA

Mutation – permanent change in DNA • Important: • source of new variation important for evolution. • Causes: • viruses, high temps, chemicals, radiation
2 categories of mutations • 1) Gene mutations – may involve large segments of DNA or a single nucleotide • 2) Chromosome mutations – either changes in the structure of a chromosome or loss or gain of an entire chromosome
Gene Mutations(large segments or a single nucleotide) • Point mutations: change in 1 nitrogen base • *Can do 1 of 3 things* • Change a.a. being coded for the protein • Change a.a. to a start and stop codon • Not change the a.a. or the protein at all • Example: sickle cell anemia http://www.intelihealth.com/i/P/PointMutationGEN.gif
Gene Mutations(large segments or a single nucleotide) • Frameshift mutation:addition or deletion of a nitrogen base • Changes EVERY triplet & a.a. after the insertion or deletion of a nitrogen base • More severe since more a.a. are affected

Chromosomal Mutations Section 12-4 Deletion Insertion/ Duplication Inversion Translocation
Chromosome mutations – either changes in the structure of a chromosome or loss or gain of an entire chromosome • Inversion: chromosome segment breaks off and then reattaches in reverse orientation to the same chr • Translocation: chr segment breaks off and attaches to different chr • Causes sterility in plants
Chromosome mutations – either changes in the structure of a chromosome or loss or gain of an entire chromosome • Deletion: loss of a piece of chr due to chr breakage • Nondisjunction: a pair of homologous chr or single chr fails to separate during meiosis • 2 kinds of gametes result • 1) trisomy (extra chr…3 homologous chr’s ) • Down Syndrome (trisomy 21) • 2) monosomy (missing a chr…1 homologous chr instead of 2) • Ex: Turner’s Syndrome (X monosomy)
