CHAPTER 9 REPLICATION TRANSCRIPTION TRANSLATION REGULATION
LIKE DNA, RNA IS A LONG CHAIN OF NUCLEIC ACIDS BUT THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES • URACIL REPLACES THYMINE • RIBOSE SUGAR REPLACES DEOXYRIBOSE
DNA is a DOUBLE helix 3’→5’
DNA polymerase synthesizes DNA only in the 5’ to 3’ direction. This leads to continuous replication on one strand and short fragments on the other. DNA polymerase requires a primer to initiate synthesis. This is a short segment of RNA synthesized by RNA primase (an RNA polymerase)
THE RAW MATERIALS FOR TRANSCRIPTION AND TRANSLATION
LIKE DNA, RNA IS A CHAIN OF NUCLEIC ACIDS BUT THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES • RNA IS SINGLE STRANDED • RNA IS COPIED FROM A DNA TEMPLATE • THERE ARE THREE MAJOR TYPES OF RNA THAT ARE COPPIED FROM DNA • messenger RNA (mRNA) is a copy of a gene • transfer RNA (tRNA) carries an amino acid • ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is part of the ribosomes
Transfer RNAs • Transfer RNAs • Structure • Copied from ca 20 genes, one/tRNA • Charged by attaching to an amino acid. • Each tRNA is charged with an amino acid specific for its anticodon • Pairs with mRNA on the ribosomes
attaches to an amino acid that is specific for this particular tRNA pairs with messenger RNA
VI. RIBOSOMAL RNAS • C. Ribosomal RNAS • Location of rRNA in cell: nucleolus • Ribosome subunits: 3 genes tandomly repeated • Combine with proteins to make large and small subunit ribosomes
Ribosomal RNAs are found in a tandem repeat Chromosome Genes SSU Gene 5.8 S Gene LSU Gene 5S Gene Tandemly repeated sequence

Genes are on one side of the double helix Gene: A sequence of DNA that encodes a polypeptide Gene (blue) is on one strand of the DNA double helix
Genes have a start codon and a stop codon Genes are segments of DNA along a strand of DNA. They have a start code and a stop codon (codon = a three base DNA sequence). Chromosome Genes Gene - enlarged Stop codon Start codon

In prokaryotes, linked genes may be copied into a single mRNA which is ten translated into different polypeptides
The operon system of gene regulation in prokaryotes involves regulatory regions and linked genes that are co-regulated. For example, the Lac operon The Lac operon acts to import lactose into the cell and to break down lactose into glucose + galactose. Glucose is used in glycolysis and cellular respiration.
Eukaryotic genes are not organized into introns Instead, there are a number of regulatory regions, each responding to a different signal. protein “z” protein “y” xyz za xy
