Ribosome

How it Central Dogma works with RNA.

1. mRNA "messenger" made from DNA in nucleus travels out of nucleus and finds a ribosome.



2. tRNA "transfer" brings amino acids to the ribosomes; found in cytoplasm.



3. rRNA "ribosomal" part of the ribosome; this is where proteins are made.

Transcribes the genetic code from DNA into a form that can be read and used to make proteins.



Carries genetic information from the nucleus to the cytoplasm of a cell.



mRNA or Messenger RNA

Carries copies of instructions for assembling amino acids into proteins.

Messenger RNA

tRNA or Transfer RNA

transcribes the genetic code from DNA into a form that can be read and used to make proteins.

rRNA or Ribosomal RNA

acts as enzymes that speed up the chemical reactions

IMPORTANCE OF RNA

Helps in regulating various cell processes, ranging from cell division, growth to cell aging and death

IMPORTANCE OF RNA

It was also discovered that certain (?) defects can result inhuman diseases

RNA



CONCEPT MAP

composed of polymers of numerous amino acids known as polypeptides

PROTEINS

HOW MANY AMINO ACIDS IN HUMAN BODY?

20 AMINO ACIDS

The properties of the proteins are determined?

by the order of the amino acids in a polypeptide

are those that cannot beproduced by our bodies, which is why they should be present in our daily diet

Essential Amino Acids

Give me all the essential Amino Acids



are those that can be produced by our bodies

Nonessential Amino Acids

Give me all the nonessential Amino Acids



are not vital but may become urgent during health crisis or stress

Conditionally nonessential Amino Acids

Give me all the conditionally nonessential AminoAcids



The language of instruction in the mRNA is called?

Genetic code

It is a triplet of adjacent nucleotides in the messenger RNA chain that codes for a specific amino acid in the synthesis of a protein molecule.

CODON

The 3 letter combination in the mRNa is known as?

CODON

Are used to find the Amino Acid that corresponds to DNA and RNA to produce a chain of amino acids called a polypeptide, or protein

Codon charts

Codon charts are used to find the (?) that corresponds to DNA and RNA to produce a chain of amino acids called a polypeptide, or protein

Amino Acid

Codon charts are used to find the Amino Acid that corresponds to DNA and RNA to produce a chain of amino acids called a?

polypeptide, or protein

REMEMBER!!!



REMEMBER!!!



Most codons specify an?

AMINO ACIDS

Three "stop" codons mark the end of a protein.

(UAG,UGA,UAA)

One "start" codon, (?) , marks the beginning of aprotein and also encodes the amino acid methionine.

AUG

MEMORIZE THIS!!!

the DNA sequence of a gene is "rewritten" in RNA. In eukaryotes, the RNA must go through additional processing steps to become a messenger RNA, or mRNA.

TRANSCRIPTION

the sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA is "translated" into a sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide (protein chain)
