Step #7 tRNA goes back to pick up more amino acids;
mRNA breaks down;
Funtional protein ready for use
A. mRNA
2. Many proteins can be made with one mRNA transcript
1. May not immediately break down but bond to another ribosome to form a polyribosome

B. Protein Most proteins must be modified to be functional
1. Chaperonins needed to fold protein into correct tertiary structure
2. Secretory proteins are targeted to be modified in the Rough ER prior to export
-amino acids cleaved (methionine), functional groups added, tertiary and quaternary structures modified

Mutations: Changes in the DNA Sequence
Type of Mutation Typical Effect of Mutation
A. Chromosomal rearrangement (aneuploidy, trisomy, polyploidy)
A. Usually lethal due to high number of genes (proteins) involved
B. Changes in DNA base pairs (Point Mutations)
B. Effect Varies1. Silent – no effect due to the
redundancy of the triplet code2. Missense – Little effect resulting
with a functional protein3. Nonsense – Protein nonfunctional
1. Base- Pair Substitutions Replacing one base pair with another
C. Point Mutations Types
2. Deletions – removal of one base pair
3. Insertions – addition of one base pair
Usually silent due to redundancy and
“wobble” of code. Effect depends on:
1) Amino Acid type changed
2) Change in start or stop codons
Cause frame shift mutations forming nonsense proteins

Genetic Code Redundancy
1. There are multiple codes for the same amino acids
2. The most variation is found in the 3rd base.
4. Some tRNA use the base Inosine(I) as their 3rd base that can bond to any base
“Wobble”
3. Some base pairs will bond to its “wrong” pair in the 3rd base
