Presentation Transcript

  1. What is RNA, anyways?How is it different than DNA?

  2. DNA Nucleic acid Double stranded Deoxyribose sugar Thymine RNA Nucleic acid Single stranded Ribose sugar Uracil (instead of Thymine) What is RNA & how is it different from DNA?

  3. DNA Double strand Deoxyribose sugar Contains thymine Very large molecule RNA Single strand Ribose sugar Contains uracil Small molecule Differences between DNA and RNA

  4. Different Sugars DNA RNA Can you spot the difference?

  5. Different Bases Can you spot the difference?

  6. DNA- double stranded RNA- single stranded

  7. RNA and DNA Nucleotides DNA RNA

  8. RNA IS COPIED FROM DNA DNA (double stranded original, protected in nucleus) COPIED RNA (single strand - mobile)

  9. mRNA: the messenger RNA is how the body gets information from the nucleus (DNA) to the place where protein gets made (ribosomes)

  10. Transcription DNA zips back together DNA unzips DNA ACTTTACGGCAT ACTTTACGGCATTGAAATGCCGTA ACTTTACGGCATTGAAATGCCGTA RNA copy made ACUUUACGGCAU TGAAATGCCGTA RNA ACUUUACGGCAU

  11. If the DNA code is this: TACGAGTTACATAAAATGCTCAATGTATTT What is the mRNA code? Use the bottom strand as the template for mRNA UACGAGUUACAUAAA

  12. Transcription of RNA from a template strand of DNA • RNA polymerase attaches at the promoter sequence of DNA, and it moves along the DNA, unzipping the strands & “reading” the template – this allows for one mRNA molecule to be formed.

  13. Animation of Transcription • http://www.fed.cuhk.edu.hk/~johnson/teaching/genetics/animations/transcription.htm
