RNA differs from DNA in three ways:• an RNA molecule consists of a single-strand
of nucleotides• RNA has ribose (5-C sugar) rather than
deoxyribose• RNA has the pyrimidine uracil instead of
thymine

Has 2 stages:Transcription and Translation
![Page 7: Chapter 8](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681511c550346895dbf3c3f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Transcription is the first part of protein synthesis.
* What does it mean to transcribe? Step 1: An enzyme called RNA
polymerase attaches to DNA and “unzips” it.
Step 2: RNA polymerase then uses one strand of DNA as a template from which nucleotides are assembled into a strand of mRNA.

The nucleotide sequence of DNA is converted into an RNA nucleotide sequence.
Let’s say one strand of a DNA molecule had this sequence
AGCCTACGTAAG What would the mRNA sequence
produced be?

Proteins are made by joining amino acids together into a long chain. This chain is a protein.
The functions and properties of a protein are determined by the order in which 20 different types of amino acids are joined.
The “language” of mRNA is called the genetic code.
![Page 13: Chapter 8](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681511c550346895dbf3c3f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
RNA has 4 bases: adenine, uracil, cytosine, and guanine.
The “language” of RNA is written in only 4 letters – AUGC
The code is read three letters at a time
Each “word” is 3 letters long Each “word” of 3 nucleotides is called
a codon
![Page 14: Chapter 8](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681511c550346895dbf3c3f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The 4 different bases can be arranged into 64 possible codons (4X4X4=64), but make only 20 different amino acids.
This is because some amino acids correspond to several different codons.
Example:
![Page 15: Chapter 8](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681511c550346895dbf3c3f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Practice:a) For what amino acid
does the codon CGG code?
b) For what amino acid does the codon AUG code?
c) For what amino acid does the codon UGA code?

The 2nd stage of protein synthesis is translation.
*What does it mean to translate? The sequence of nucleotides in mRNA
serves as instructions for the order in which amino acids should be joined together in a protein. Think of mRNA as the “recipe” for a protein.
![Page 19: Chapter 8](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681511c550346895dbf3c3f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Transcription occurs in the nucleus. In translation, the mRNA travels out
of the nucleus, and moves through the cytoplasm and attaches to a ribosome. So, translation occurs at the ribosomes.
![Page 20: Chapter 8](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681511c550346895dbf3c3f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Steps of translation:1. mRNA attaches to a ribosome2. As each codon of the mRNA molecule
moves through the ribosome, the proper amino acid is brought to the ribosome by tRNA molecules.
3. Each tRNA molecule has 3 unpaired bases on it. These bases are called anticodons.
![Page 21: Chapter 8](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681511c550346895dbf3c3f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
4. The amino acids are strung together like a chain (remember, a protein is a polymer) by the ribosome, forming a long protein molecule.
5. The tRNA’s are released from the amino acids.
6. The protein chain grows longer and longer until the ribosome reaches a stop codon on the mRNA molecule. Then the protein is released from the ribosome.

•Gene Mutation – produce changes in a single gene•Chromosomal Mutations – produce changes in an entire chromosome
![Page 30: Chapter 8](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681511c550346895dbf3c3f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
A gene mutation is a change in a DNA sequence.
Gene mutations that involve changes in only one or just a few nucleotides are called point mutations b/c they occur at a single point in the DNA sequence.
There are 3 types of point mutations: substitutions, deletions, and insertions.
![Page 31: Chapter 8](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681511c550346895dbf3c3f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Substitution Mutations One base is changed to another Usually affect no more than a single
amino acid, but could still have an effect on a protein.
![Page 32: Chapter 8](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681511c550346895dbf3c3f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Insertion Mutations One extra base is inserted into the
DNA sequence.
Deletion Mutations One base is left out of the DNA
sequence.
![Page 33: Chapter 8](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681511c550346895dbf3c3f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Since the genetic code is read 3 letters at a time, the message is shifted for every codon that follows. Hence, insertions result in frameshift mutations. They have a dramatic effect on the amino acid sequence, and thus, the protein.
* Question…during what event do these mutations usually occur?

Chromosomal mutations involve changes in the number or structure of chromosomes.
We discussed many of these last chapter. Examples are Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, Fragile-X syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, and Klinefelter’s syndrome.
