Document Summary

Messenger rna carries genetic information out of the nucleus. Dna: double stranded, deoxyribose as the sugar, thymine (t, cytosine (c, adenine (a, guanine (g) Rna: generally single stranded, ribose as the sugar, uracil (u, cytosine (c, adenine (a, guanine (g) The enzyme that synthesizes rna is rna polymerase: rna poly(cid:373)e(cid:396)ase (cid:862)(cid:396)ides(cid:863) alo(cid:374)g the dna te(cid:373)plate while it sy(cid:374)thesizes rna. How does rna polymerase know where to begin: the promoter is an upstream sequence of dna that tells the polymerase where to start. The genetic code: the order of amino acids in a protein determines the folder shape of a protein. How does the cell know the order of amino acids in a protein: ribosomes are protein manufacturing machines, small ribosomal subunit + large ribosomal subunit intact ribosome. The ri(cid:271)oso(cid:373)e (cid:862)(cid:396)eads(cid:863) the se(cid:395)ue(cid:374)(cid:272)e of the (cid:373)rna: the mrna sequence is read three bases at a time, three consecutive bases are called a codon, each codon translates into a specific amino acid.
