AP EXAM 2

Gene
- Segment of DNA coding for 1RNA
- transcribe code into RNA which then goes to the cytoplasm
Codon (triplet)
- specifies the placement of a single amino acid
- needs to be a set of 3
- A-A-A-(A-U-G)-C-C-C-G-G-G-(U-A-A)
- *3 amino acids, 4 total w stop codon
- *start is
Typical protein

contains 100-1000 amino acids
Types of RNA
- 1. rRNA
- 2. mRNA
- 3. tRNA
rRNA
- rRNA (ribosomal) - forms the large and small subunits of ribosomes
- Ribosome is the "workbench factory" for protein sythnesis
mRNA
- Messenger
- the actual code
tRNA
- Transfer
- brings amino acids to ribosomes (site of protein sythnesis)
Main steps to protein sythnesis
- 1. transcription
- 2. translation
FIND CARDS WITH
- STEPS TO PROTEIN SYTHESIS
- TRANSCRIPTION AND TRANSLATION
- POLYRIBOSOME
