Document Summary

We all contain same foundational set of molecules (dna, rna, protein, lipids, sugars) Dna contains info and discrete segments contains discrete portions of information. These same compliment of macro and micro molecules segments are transcribed (copied) which serves as a template for protein synthesis info coded in dna is information to make a protein, containing linear sequence of amino acids. This central dogma relates all living organisms on earth. Dna does(cid:374)"t just (cid:272)ode for protei(cid:374), (cid:271)ut also various types of rna (cid:373)ole(cid:272)ules ribosomal rna (rrna)= end product -transferral rna (trna) = end product. Slide 3 small amount of dna in mitochondria and chloroplast (animal and plant respectively) Messenger rna translates through nucleus, nucleopores, cytoplasm. Amount of dna = genomic information if you find ribosomes, likely where protein synthesis occurs surface of er, in mitochondria, and chloroplasts. Slide 4 in other regions = euchromatin (lighter spots on the diagram) Dna is always wrapped up & interacting with proteins (called histones)
