Genes and Proteins üThe coded information in DNA is put to work through production

Genes and Proteins üThe coded information in DNA is put to work through production of proteins. DNA > RNA > Protein (Melanin) > Trait

Genes and Proteins ü Some proteins: ü Muscle, skin, pigment, hair etc. ü Enzymes

Genes and Proteins ü Some proteins: ü Muscle, skin, pigment, hair etc. ü Enzymes ü Help digest food ü Control Cellular Respiration - (break down glucose) ü Make spindle apparatus ü Enzymes control all the chemical reactions of an organism. ü By encoding the instructions for making proteins, DNA controls cells.

(Human Insulin) Genes and Proteins ü Proteins are polymers of amino acids. ü The sequence of nucleotides in each gene contains information for assembling the string of amino acids that make up a single protein.

Three Types of RNA: ü Messenger RNA (m. RNA), brings instructions from DNA in the nucleus (headquarters) to the cytoplasm (factory). ü In the factory m. RNA moves to the assembly line, a ribosome.

Three Types of RNA: ü The ribosome (assembly line), made of ribosomal RNA (r.

Three Types of RNA: ü The ribosome (assembly line), made of ribosomal RNA (r. RNA) ü Binds to the m. RNA ü Uses the instructions to assemble the amino acids in the correct order. Amino Acid r. RNA m. RNA

Three Types of RNA: ü Transfer RNA (t. RNA) is the supplier. Delivers amino acids (raw materials) to the ribosome to be assembled into a protein. Amino Acid Ribosome t. RNA m. RNA

Translation: From m. RNA to Protein ü “A communication in a second language having the same meaning as the communication in a first language” ü Converting a sequence of nitrogenous bases in m. RNA into a sequence of amino acids.
