More than one base triplet
can code for a particular amino acid

If the order of the bases is important there are 64
different ways of arranging four bases in a triplet code.HOWEVER only 20 different
amino acids have to be coded for.

• Some codes are used as initiation codons to indicate the beginning of a gene
• Some are stop codons and indicate where a gene terminates
• Others are used as alternative codons for some amino acids

TRANSCRIPTION
This involves 2 processes
Copying a gene in the nucleus to make mRNA
translationUsing the mRNA to make proteins in the
cytoplasm

DNA cannot move into the cytoplasm where
polypeptides are produced.This reduces the possibility
of damage to the DNA.
![Page 12: A sequence of bases on a DNA molecule which codes for a sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d835503460f94a69e76/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The DNA code is transcribed (copied) into a single stranded
messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule in the nucleus.
The process is controlled by the enzyme RNA polymerase.
![Page 13: A sequence of bases on a DNA molecule which codes for a sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d835503460f94a69e76/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Only one of the DNA strands of the double helix carries
the genetic code. This is called the coding or
sense strand. This sense strand acts as a
template for mRNA production.
![Page 14: A sequence of bases on a DNA molecule which codes for a sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d835503460f94a69e76/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
DNA helicase separates the 2 strands by causing hydrogen bonds to break between the complementary base pairs in the gene and the DNA to unwind.

RNA polymerase attaches to the initiation code of the gene and moves along the template adding free RNA nucleotides to the exposed DNA nucleotides

RNA polymerase joins the sugar-phosphate backbone of the mRNA by
condensation reactions.The completed mRNA molecule passes
through the nuclear pores in the nuclear membrane into the cytoplasm.There are only 2 copies of each gene in
the nucleus, but transcription allows many copies of mRNA to be available for translation and protein synthesis.
![Page 18: A sequence of bases on a DNA molecule which codes for a sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d835503460f94a69e76/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
During transcription the whole gene is copied into mRNA.
However genes contain long sequences of non-coding DNA
called introns.
These are not required to make the protein therefore before the mRNA is used,
these sequences are removed.

• This is an enzyme which copies RNA into DNA

• Transcription involves unpairing of bases in one region of the DNA helix (the gene being read), followed by the synthesis of a strand of mRNA.
• This carries a triplet code sequence complementary to the template strand of DNA (i.e. DNA acts as a template)
• mRNA acts as a messenger to carry information to the ribosome in the cytoplasm.
![Page 30: A sequence of bases on a DNA molecule which codes for a sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d835503460f94a69e76/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• Translation involves decoding/reading the triplet message on mRNA.
• Each codon, 3 bases, has a natural complementary sequence of 3 bases, called the anticodon.
• This set of 3 bases is attached to a specific tRNA molecule that carries and transfers a specific amino acid.
• The specific amino acid is determined by the sequence of the triplet code and anticodon.
![Page 31: A sequence of bases on a DNA molecule which codes for a sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d835503460f94a69e76/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• The complementary triplets on mRNA and tRNA pair together in ribosomal sites (peptidyl & aminoacyl).
• Ribosomes are situated in the cytoplasm, hence the need for mRNA & tRNA.
• When 2 amino acids sit side by side, at the two sites on the ribosome, a condensation reaction occurs and a peptide bond will form between them.
