Protein Synthesis. Write the complementary DNA strand for each of these DNA strands:. DNA. DNA GAATTACA CCAATTAG ATAGACAG CCAGTACA. Here is a practice website if you are connected to the internet:. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aso/tryit/dna/shockwave.html.
E N D
Write the complementary DNA strand for each of these DNA strands: DNA • DNA • GAATTACA • CCAATTAG • ATAGACAG • CCAGTACA
Here is a practice website if you are connected to the internet: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aso/tryit/dna/shockwave.html
Each of the 96 columns represents one DNA sequence. A different colored dye attached to each of the four nucleotides.
Semi-Conservative Replication Each strand of the original molecule acts as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary DNA molecule
With semi-conservative replication, each new strand is ½ new and ½ old
Differences between DNA and RNA • Different sugars (DNA=deoxyribose) (RNA=ribose) • RNA is single stranded (1 side) DNA is double stranded (2sides) • RNA has “U” (uracil) DNA has “T” (thymine)
Always remember… RNAlovesU
Write the RNA strand for each of these DNA strands: • RNA • ½ Strand of DNA • GAATTACA • CCAATTAG • ATAGACAG • CCAGTACA
Transcription The process by which DNA is copied into mRNA
mRNA Messenger RNA, is the copy of the DNA that goes from the nucleus to the ribosome
tRNA Transfer RNA, matches up with mRNA and has an amino acid on its top
CODON Each combination of 3 nucleotides on a strand of mRNA
ANTICODON Each combination of 3 nucleotides on a tRNA
Translation The decoding of a mRNA message into proteins
rRNA Ribosomal RNA, glues together all of the amino acids into a polypeptide chain
