BIOLOGY PROJECT

TRANSCRIPTION

• In the nucleus.
• mRNA makes copy of DNA
• Copy goes to cytoplasm

BIG PICTURE

• Looks like this

THE PROCESS

• RNA polymerase bonds to the promoter of DNA.
• Hydrogen bonds are separated and RNA copies a strand of DNA.
• RNA polymerase adds nucleotides to 3' strand of growing RNA.

ONE SECOMD PLEASE

• Processing
• In eukaryotes introns don't code for amino acids
• So introns are removed and exons stay there
• Also a 5 prime cap is added to 5' end
• And a poly-a tail to the 3' end

TRANSLATION

• In the cytoplasm
• Proteins get made
• tRNA and mRNA are important
• Ribosomes are used

BIG PICTURE

PROCESS

• Initiation-mRNA binds to ribosome.
• Elongation-tRNA transfers amino acids to mRNA
• tRNA anticodons and mRNA codons link together
• The amino acids on tRNA connect with polypeptide bonds
• Termination-tRNA hits stop codon and protein is finished and released

ALL SAID AND DONE
