Document Summary

Each nucleotide composed of deoxyribose, phosphate, and nitrogenous base. Nucleotides comprised of ribose, phosphate, and nitrogenous base. 4 bases: a, c, g and uracil. Gene: is a sequence of dna that contains information to make a protein. The dna stores information required to make every protein in the cell. A messenger rna (mrna) extracts this information and delivers it to a ribosome. The ribosome translates the mrna code into a sequence of amino acids. Dna -> rna -> protein and occurs in 2 steps: transcription (dna -> rna, translation (rna -> protein) Transcription occurs in the nucleus (in eukaryotic cells) Rna polymerase binds to the promoter region of the gene. Rna polymerase zips down the length of gene, matching rna nucleotides with complementary dna nucleotides. Transfer rnas (trnas, for each amino acid) Has a small and a large subunit that must work together to build a polypeptide trnas.
