Protein Synthesis
How to code for the correct amino acids
DNAFound in nucleusA is still pairing with T
m-RNA Being made in the nucleusWill leave nucleus , go into cytoplasm to ribosome
M-RNA read at ribosome in chunks of three (codons)Calls for t-RNA which brings certain amino acidsChains of amino acids link
Stop codonLast group of three in the m-RNA referred to as the stop codonAmino acid chain is finished
Protein is madeAmino acid chain folds to form a proteinA wrong amino acid would change the form of the protein (mutation)
Student’s activityDNA creating m-RNA
mRNA broken into codes of three (codons)Message is read at the ribosome
mRNA codes for appropriate tRNAtRNA will bring the appropriate amino acid
Based on code, students find the appropriate amino acid
