Document Summary
Dna, rna, and protein synthesis (gene mrna protein) The information that is encoded in genetic material is to establish and maintain the cellular and biochemical functions of an organism. A specific order of deoxyribonucleotides will determine the information content of a gene. Some genes encode for proteins, some will encode for rna molecules. A messenger rna molecule is synthesized from a structural gene using one of the 2 dna strands as a. This individual mrna molecule will interact with ribosomes, trnas, and enzymes in order to produce a. A protein consists of a specific sequence of amino acids, which defines its activity. Dna is made of nucleotides linked, forming long chains. A nucleotide will consist of a base, a 5-carbon sugar, and a phosphate group. The two strands of dna are held together by h-bonds between the bases of opposite strands. Encodes information of proteins the sequence of nucleotides of a gene gives the code for production of a protein.
