. Three Types of RNAThree Types of RNA
• Messenger RNA (mRNA)Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries genetic carries genetic information to the information to the ribosomesribosomes
• Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)Ribosomal RNA (rRNA), , along with protein, along with protein, makes up the makes up the ribosomesribosomes
• Transfer RNA (tRNA)Transfer RNA (tRNA) transfers amino acids to transfers amino acids to the ribosomes where the ribosomes where proteins are synthesizedproteins are synthesized
Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries copies of instructions for assembling amino acids into proteins.
Ribosomes are made up of proteins and ribosomal RNA (rRNA).
During protein construction, transfer RNA (tRNA) transfers each amino acid to the ribosome.

Overview of TranscriptionOverview of Transcription During During transcriptiontranscription in the in the
nucleus, a segment of DNA nucleus, a segment of DNA unwinds and unzips, and unwinds and unzips, and the the DNA DNA serves as aserves as a template template forfor mRNA mRNA formationformation
RNA polymeraseRNA polymerase joins the joins the RNA nucleotides so that RNA nucleotides so that the the codons codons in mRNA are in mRNA are complementarycomplementary to the to the code in DNAcode in DNA
TranscriptionDNA is copied in the form of RNA
This first process is called transcription.
The process begins at a section of DNA called a promoter.

Translation
Translation is the decoding of an mRNA message into a polypeptide chain (protein).
Translation takes place on ribosomes.
During translation, the cell uses information from messenger RNA to produce proteins.
LysinetRNAPhenylalanine
Methionine
Ribosome
mRNAStart codon
The ribosome binds new tRNA molecules and amino acids as it moves along the mRNA.
TranslationProtein Synthesis
The process continues until the ribosome reaches a stop codon.
