Pathway to Making a Protein DNA mRNA Protein
Roles of RNA and DNA • DNA is the MASTER PLAN • RNA is the BLUEPRINT of the Master Plan
RNA Differs from DNA RNA: DNA:
. Three Types of RNA • Messenger RNA (mRNA) • Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) • Transfer RNA (tRNA)
Remember the Complementary Bases On DNA: A- C- On RNA: A-U C-
Nuclear membrane DNA Transcription Pre-mRNA RNA Processing mRNA Ribosome Translation Protein DNA RNAProtein Eukaryotic Cell
Question: • What would be the complementary RNA strand for the following DNA sequence? DNA 5’-GCGTATG-3’
Answer: • DNA 5’-GCGTATG-3’ • RNA 3’-CGCAUAC-5’
The Genetic Code • A codon designates an amino acid • A codon is three bases • There are 20 amino acids, but 64 possible codons
The Genetic Code • read from the center to the outside • Example: AUG codes for Methionine
Name the Amino Acids • GGG? • UCA? • CAU? • GCA? • AAA?
