TRANSCRIPT
It is the DNA in the nucleus that stores instructions for protein synthesis and this DNA is contained in chromosomes.
Human body cells contain 23 pairs of chromosomes.
Each chromosome contains DNA strands wrapped around special proteins called histones.
Gene
The functional unit of heredity.
Consists of all the triplets (3 bases that specify an amino acid) needed to produce a specific protein.
Protein SynthesisDivided into transcription and
translation.Transcription is the production
of RNA from a single strand of DNA.
Translation is the assembling of a protein by ribosomes, using information carried by RNA molecule.
TranscriptionTakes place inside of the nucleus.A codon is 3 bases on the new RNA
strand. DNA RNA

Step 2
Enzymes promote the synthesis of a mRNA strand using nucleotides complementary to those in the gene.
Step 3
Continues until DNA stop signal is reached. The enzyme and mRNA detach and the complementary DNA strand reattaches.
Translation
Occurs in the ribosomes.Process of assembling
proteins from information carried by the mRNA molecule.
Step 1 Begins at the “start” codon of the
mRNA. Ribosome binds to the mRNA molecule
near the codon at the beginning of the messenger strand.
Joined by the first tRNA which carries the amino acid methionine (UAC).
Step 2
Small and large ribosomal subunits interlock around mRNA strand.
Second tRNA arrives at the next binding site of the ribosome.
Step 4
First amino acid is detached from tRNA and joined to the next amino acid by a peptide bond.
First tRNA detaches as next arrives and attaches to mRNA.
Step 5
Amino acid chain continues to elongate until the stop codon is reached.
Components separate.As the chain of amino acids
develops, it folds into the unique shape of a functional protein molecule.
