The Structure of RNA“Central Dogma” of Biology:DNA is “read” by RNA which then travels to the ribosomes to make proteins.
DNA RNA Proteins

The Structure of RNA RNA, like DNA, is made up of
nucleotides However, there are 4 major
differences between DNA and RNA: RNA has ribose instead of
deoxyribose RNA has uracil instead of thymine RNA is single-stranded instead of
double-stranded RNA is able to leave the nucleus.

3 Types of RNA Messenger RNA (mRNA) – carries the
message from the DNA to the ribosomes Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) – make up part
of the structure of a ribosome Transfer RNA (tRNA) – transfers amino
acids to the ribosomes
![Page 5: RNA and Protein Synthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081512/568162bd550346895dd34981/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Transcription DNA mRNA Making RNA from DNA (in the
nucleus) RNA polymerase binds to DNA
and begins building a complementary strand of mRNA A will now pair with U, T still pairs
with A C and G still pair with each other
Why mRNA? mRNA can leave the nucleus!

Transcription
![Page 7: RNA and Protein Synthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081512/568162bd550346895dd34981/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Genetic Code DNA and RNA are “read” 3 bases at
a time A codon is a 3 base sequence that
codes (“signals”) for a specific amino acid There are 64 possible codons (3 letter
combinations) Proteins are made of amino acids There are 20 different amino acids

The Genetic Code RNA sequence:
UCGAGGCUA Separate into codons:
UCG-AGG-CUA Identify the “signaled” amino
acids: Serine-Arginine-Leucine

Translation mRNA Proteins Making of proteins using the
instructions from the mRNA message (“translating the code”)
Occurs at the ribosomes
![Page 12: RNA and Protein Synthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081512/568162bd550346895dd34981/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Translation1. Following transcription, mRNA
leaves the nucleus and enters the cytoplasm.
2. The mRNA attaches to the ribosome
3. The tRNA brings the proper amino acid to the ribosome
Anticodon – sequence of bases on the tRNA that pair with the mRNA
![Page 13: RNA and Protein Synthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081512/568162bd550346895dd34981/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Translation4. The amino acids form a peptide
bond to hold them together The next amino acid is brought in and is attached
5. This continues until the ribosome reaches a stop codon
6. The completed protein (polypeptide chain) is then released

Mutations Changes in the DNA sequence
that affect genetic information Gene mutations – result from
changes in a single gene. A gene carries the “recipe” for a single protein.
Chromosomal mutations – involve changes in whole chromosomes
![Page 16: RNA and Protein Synthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081512/568162bd550346895dd34981/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Body-cell v. Sex-cell Mutation Somatic cell mutations are not passed on to the next generation. Mutations that occur in sex cells are passed on to the organism’s offspring and will be present in every cell of the offspring.

Gene Mutations Point mutations – a mutation
that occurs at a single point (only 1 nitrogen base) Substitution – a single nucleotide is
substituted for another one (A instead of G)
Frameshift mutations– a mutation that occurs when a nucleotide is inserted or deleted Insertion – a nucleotide is added Deletion – a nucleotide is removed
![Page 18: RNA and Protein Synthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081512/568162bd550346895dd34981/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Gene Mutations Insertions and deletions cause
frameshift mutations because they shift the “reading frame” of the genetic message.
