Purpose of introns? • Lengthens chromosomes • Regulatory role
Translation • rRNA - _________________ • mRNA - _________________ • Codon - _______________ • _____________________ • tRNA - _________________ • Anticodon - ____________ • _____________________ • Amino acid - ___________ • _____________________ • Peptide bond - ____________ • ________________________ • http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072507470/student_view0/chapter3/animation__protein_synthesis__quiz_3_.html
Translation • Initiation: the ______attaches to the ribosome and begins translation.
Translation • Elongation: the polypeptide chain continues to ____.
Translation • Termination: The polypeptide has been completed and ________from the ribosome.
It’s believed that the code evolved very early in history of life. • Why?___________________________________ • Transplanting genes…
PolysomesSeveral __________can translate an mRNA at the same ______, forming what is called a polysome.
A great summary graphic of protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells
Mutations Point mutation- an alteration in a single base pair Insertions / deletions – cause frameshiftmutations
Mutagen – agents which cause mutation • 1) "high energy" radiation - ultraviolet light (200 - 400 nm). - x-rays • 2) Reactive Chemicals - (Industrial Pollution) 3) Chemicals from smoking
Types of point Mutations 1)Base Substitutions -One base is substituted for another in the sequence of DNA nucleotides. • Possible Consequences: • Silent mutation - • Lethal mutation -
Types of point Mutations 2)Base Insertions and Deletions - base pair is removed or added to the DNA sequence. • causes a frame shift = shift in the _______ ________of the _____. • Not all mutations are bad. • What if the altered protein shape turns out to be BETTER at carrying on the chemical reaction its designed for?. • Some mutations are beneficial.
