Download - DNA, RNA, and Proteins
Regents Biology
Learning Objectives1. How is the code of DNA transcribed
into messenger RNA?
2. How is messenger RNA translated into a protein?
3. Describe how to make a protein (beginning with a gene).
Regents Biology
Bodies are made up of cells All cells run on a set of instructions
spelled out in DNA
Bodies Cells DNA
Regents Biology
How does DNA code for cells & bodies? how are cells and bodies made from the
instructions in DNA
DNA Cells Bodies
Regents Biology
DNA has the information to build proteins genes
DNA Proteins Cells Bodies

Regents Biology
How do proteins do all the work Proteins
proteins run living organisms enzymes
control all chemical reactions in living organisms
structure all living organisms are built out of proteins
Regents Biology
cytoplasm
nucleus
Cell organization DNA
DNA is in the nucleus genes = instructions for making proteins
want to keep it there = protected “locked in the vault”
Regents Biology
Cell organization Proteins
chains of amino acids made by a “protein factory” in cytoplasm protein factory = ribosome

from nucleus to cytoplasm need a copy of DNA messenger RNA

Whoops!See what happens when
your genes don’t work right!
Any Questions??
