Document Summary

Dna is the instructions (program) that tell the cells what to do. Transcription is the synthesis of rna using dna as a template (guide), dna to rna. Translation is the synthesis of a polypeptide (protein) directed by mrna. Occurs in the cytoplasm: what are the key differences between dna and rna, sugar- deoxyribose (dna) vs. ribose (rna) [ribose has an oh, deoxyribose does not, base- thymine (dna) [gact] is replaced by uracil (rna) [gacu] Dna contains 2 strands; its base pairs are dna-dna [a-t, t-a, c-g, g-c]; contains genes; the sequence of bases in most genes determines the amino acid sequence of a protein. In the genetic code, a triplet of nucleotides specifies an amino acid: explain the roles of mrna, trna, and rrna in translation. mrna-messenger, trna-transfer, rrna-ribosomal. Messenger rna (mrna): carries the code for a protein-coding gene from dna to ribosomes.
