Biology Ms. Zimmerman Emod: CHAPTER 10: Section 1

This document provides an overview of how proteins are made through transcription and translation. It explains that transcription involves RNA polymerase using a DNA gene as a template to create a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule. The mRNA then carries the protein coding instructions to the ribosomes for translation, where the mRNA codons are used to determine the sequential order of amino acids in the protein. In summary, DNA is transcribed into mRNA which is then translated at the ribosomes into a protein based on the codon sequences in the mRNA.

CHAPTER 10: Section 1


How proteins are made

A. Decoding the info in DNA


1. RNA (Ribonucleic Acid)
a. molecule made of nucleotides linked together
2. Differences
a single strand of nucleotides
5 carbon sugar Ribose
Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and URACIL
adenine :: uracil
guanine :: cytosine
Uracil: RNA nucleotide replacing thymine
Transcription: (Part of making proteins & is formed in cytoplasm
in prokaryotic cells) is the process where
instructions for making proteins are sent from a
gene to an RNA molecule. DNA nucleotides used
as template for new RNA Molecule
-Translation: process in ribosomes that uses
codons in mRNA to determine the order
of amino acids

Transfer of info from DNA to RNA


1. Transcription

STEP ONE: RNA polymerase binds to promoter


STEP TWO: double helix unwound and separate by RNA
polymerase
STEP THREE: RNA polymerase adds to nucleotides uracil
pairs with adenine and cytosine paris with
guanine

DNA STRAND: TTAACCGG


RNA STRAND: AAUUGGCC
DNA STRAND: TACAGTC
RNA STRAND: AUGUCAG

DNA STRAND: GTACAGC


RNA STRAND: CAUGUCG
Messenger RNA (mRNA)
carries the directions for making a protein from a gene and takes
it to the translation side
translated from nucleotides to amino acids

Codons
3 nucleotide sequence that “codes” for a specific sequence of
amino acids
