DNA Replication
  • Chromosomes double
  • Mitosis
  • Late Interphase
  • 2n to 4n

13
E. Steps for DNA Replication
  • DNA untwists
  • DNA unzips
  • Corresponding base pairs
  • Line up
  • In sets of 3
  • nucleotides (triplets)
  • Or codons
  • DNA reforms
  • 2 strands twist into helix

A. What is RNA?
  • Organic Molecule
  • Nucleic Acid
  • mRNA
  • messenger
  • tRNA
  • transfer

Ribonucleic Acid

B. Where is RNA located?
  1. mRNA in nucleus cytoplasm
  2. tRNA only in cytoplasm

D. What are RNAs functions
  • mRNA
  • Copies the DNA code
  • Deliveries message to Ribosome
  • Protein Factories

20
Why not send the original DNA code out?
Original DNA
  • DNA might be damaged!
  • mRNA components are reused
  • To copy more messages

mRNA copy
21
RNA function cont.
  • tRNA
  • in cytoplasm
  • Picks up an amino acid
  • Taxis the aa to the Ribosome protein factories

Amino acid
tRNA
22
III. Protein Synthesis
  • Assembling Proteins from the DNA Instructions

23
A. Transcription
  • mRNA is copied off of DNA
  • In nucleus
  • Steps
  • DNA untwists
  • DNA unzips
  • RNA codons line up

24
Transcription
  • mRNA has
  • Ribose sugar
  • Uracil instead of thymine bases
  • Nuclear membrane allows it to leave!

B. Translation
  • Conversion of the message (mRNA Code)
  • Into a protein
  • By the ribosome factories

27
B.Translation
tRNA taxi
A
  1. mRNA arrives at the Ribosome
  2. tRNA picks up an amino acid
  3. tRNA delivers the aa to the ribosome
  4. aa are assembled into polypeptide proteins

4. Polypeptide Chain of amino acids grows
2. Peptide bond forms 3. tRNA leaves ribosome
  • tRNA delivers
  • amino acid

Summary
  • Protein Synthesis
  • Transcrition
  • Make mRNA
  • From DNA
  • Translation
  • Make protein
  • Off mRNA code
  • Using amino acids
  • DNA Replication
  • Make duplicate DNA
  • In nucleus
  • Copy the chromosomes
  • For Mitosis
