The flow of genetic information in the cell
Review DNA
Complementary base pairing
Nucleotides
Another nucleic acid
RNA
Single stranded; U not T
Ribose sugar instead of deoxyribose
Carries genetic information out of nucleus into cytoplasm
Carries amino acids
Genetic Expression Overview
The flow of genetic information in a cell is DNA→ RNA → Protein
One of the two DNA strands gets chosen to be transcribed into RNA, and then
gets translated to protein
Transcription
Production of RNA using DNA as a template
Takes place in the nucleus
Promotor→ signaling DNA before transcription
RNA polymerase→ enzyme that reads DNA
RNA nucleotides→ complementary base pairing to DNA
T → A, C→ G, G→ C, A→ U
No thymine in RNA, turns to a U
Becomes known as mRNA
Practice:
DNA: AGGATCAGTCA
RNA: UCCUAGUCAGU
Getting ready for Translation
Amino acids needed for protein synthesis (in ribosomes)
mRNA and tRNA needed (with energy)
Ribosomes: site of protein synthesis
Proteins + rRNA
Made in nucleolus
Transfer RNA serves as interpreter during translation
tRNA carries amino acid and makes sure right ones go into the right position
tRNA anticodon → complementary to mRNA codon (amino acid is specified by
the codon complementary to the anticodon)
AAA→ UUU

Document Summary

The flow of genetic information in the cell. Carries genetic information out of nucleus into cytoplasm. The flow of genetic information in a cell is dna rna protein. One of the two dna strands gets chosen to be transcribed into rna, and then gets translated to protein. Production of rna using dna as a template. Rna nucleotides complementary base pairing to dna. T a, c g, g c, a u. No thymine in rna, turns to a u. Amino acids needed for protein synthesis (in ribosomes) Transfer rna serves as interpreter during translation. Trna carries amino acid and makes sure right ones go into the right position. Trna anticodon complementary to mrna codon (amino acid is specified by the codon complementary to the anticodon) Amino acid would be attached to uuu not aaa because aaa is the anticodon, and uuu is its complement. The genetic code: (information is written in the sequence of nucleotides)
