• What is the purpose of DNA replication?

• When and Where does DNA replication occur?

• What is the purpose of Transcription?

• Where does Transcription occur?

TRANSLATION• Once the mRNA is assembled, the mRNA strand moves out of the nucleus and into the cytoplasm

• Proteins• Are made of amino acids• Amino acids are joined by peptide

bonds• The shape of the protein affects its

function• Enzymes are proteins

• What is produced during transcription?

• a. RNA molecules

• b. DNA molecules

• c. RNA polymerase

• d. proteins

Ans: a

TRANSLATION• Codon• A genetic code that contains the

information needed by the cell to perform a function

• Arranged in a sequence of DNA• Genetic code is made of codons• One codon is 3 bases• A codon codes for an amino acid• AUG is the start codon

TRANSLATION

• THE PROCESS OF ASSEMBLING PROTEINS

• Translation and protein synthesis is the same thing

• Number of steps depend on the length of the protein

TRANSLATION

• Steps1. mRNA moves out of the nucleus and goes to a ribosome in the cytoplasm2. Free floating tRNA carries the amino acid to the ribosome3. The first codon is the start codon

• What is that codon? Look on page 3034. The ribosome moves down so another tRNA brings in another amino acid for the next codon5. The process continues until the ribosome gets to a stop codon

• What is the stop codon?

• A gene is a region of DNA that codes for a protein

• Protein Synthesis• DNA replication

• TACGCAATG

• Transcription• ?

• Translation• ?

• Protein Synthesis DNA: ATGCGTTAC

• DNA replication• TACGCAATG

• Transcription• AUGCGUUAC

• Translation• Start-Arginine-Tyrosine
