BIL 150 Lecture Notes - Lecture 23: Primary Transcript, Messenger Rna, Covalent Bond
Document Summary
Nutritional mutants in neuropora: exposed bread mold to x rays creating mutants that were unable ti survive on minimal media, using crosses they identified 3 classes of argine deficient. Basic principles of transcription and translation: rna is the bridge between the genes and the. proteins for which they code, transcription is the synthesis of rna using information in dna, transcription produces messenger rna, translation is the synthesis. Central dogma: the concept that cells are governed by a cellular chain of command, primary transcript is the initial rna transcript from any any gene prior to processing, dna --> rna --> protein. Codons triplet of bases: triplet code: series of 3 nucleotides words smallest unit of uniform length that can code for all.
