Presentation Transcript

  1. DNA Double Stranded Composed of nucleotides: Deoxyribose Sugar Phosphate Nitrogen Bases A-T G- C Is the “Blueprint for the building” RNA Single Stranded Composed of nucleotides Ribose Sugar Phosphate Nitrogen Bases A-U, G-C Is the “Construction Worker who builds Proteins” Nucleic Acids

  2. RNA – (ribonucleic acid) makes the protein. p. 208 Made of 4 bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil (U). A – U C – G T – A G - A – A – T - A – U C – G T – A G - C A – U A – U T - A

  3. Transcription: From DNAmRNA • Uses DNA info to make mRNA • Occurs in Nucleus • No T in mRNA only U • A=U • T=A • G=C • C=G • Mistakes in replication are carried on through transcription!! 

  4. Translation: The FinalemRNA  Protein • Occurs in Cytoplasm • Players: Ribosomes Amino Acids mRNA Protein • Mutations during replication and transcription make wacked out proteins that may not work well!! • Wanna know how to make a protein?

  5. Okay Solve the Puzzle • Find the protein: -AUG CCA UUA -AUG GGU UCA -AUG ACU UUU
