DNA is transcribed into RNA and then translated into Protein

Reorder

Genetic information flows in one direction put the following steps in order

Transcription

• RNA bases (AUGC) are matched with DNA strands to copy their message into RNA (mRNA)

  • A --> U

  • G <--> C

  • T --> A

• Occurs in the nucleus in eukaryotes

• RNA and DNA have different sugars

  • RNA - ribose

  • DNA - deoxyribose

• RNA and DNA have different nitrogenous bases

  • RNA - AUGC

  • DNA - ATGC

• DNA is double stranded and RNA is single stranded

DNA and RNA Differences

Match

Match the following using base pairing rules for DNA to RNA.

• A

• T

• G

• C

U

• G

Multiple Select

Select all of the following that are differences between DNA and RNA.

• Number of strands

• made of nucleic acids

• Nitrogenous bases

• Sugar

• mRNA leaves the nucleus and travels through the cytoplasm to the ribosome.

• mRNA attaches to the ribosome and is read 3 bases at a time (codon)

• Each codon codes for a specific amino acid which is brought by tRNA (transfer RNA).

• As the amino acids are added they form a protein.

Reorder

What are the steps in order of protein synthesis?

• messenger RNA is produced during transcription

• mRNA leaves the nucleus and heads to the ribosome

• tRNA transfers amino acids to the ribosome based on the codon in mRNA

• amino acids are bound together in a peptide chain

• a protein is formed
