Genes Genes are coded DNA instructions that control the production of proteins. Genetic messages

Genes Genes are coded DNA instructions that control the production of proteins. Genetic messages can be decoded by copying part of the nucleotide sequence from DNA into RNA contains coded information for making proteins.

The Structure of RNA There are three main differences between RNA and DNA: The

The Structure of RNA There are three main differences between RNA and DNA: The sugar in RNA is ribose instead of deoxyribose. RNA is generally single-stranded. RNA contains uracil in place of thymine.

Types of RNA There are three main types of RNA: Messenger RNA Ribosomal RNA

Translation Translation is the decoding of an m. RNA message into a polypeptide chain

Translation Translation is the decoding of an m. RNA message into a polypeptide chain (protein). Translation takes place on ribosomes. During translation, the cell uses information from messenger RNA to produce proteins. Nucleus m. RNA
