DNA or Protein?DNA or Protein? Walter Sutton discovered Walter Sutton discovered
chromosomes chromosomes were made were made of of DNA and ProteinDNA and Protein
However, scientists were However, scientists were NOTNOT sure which one sure which one (protein or DNA) was (protein or DNA) was the the actual genetic material actual genetic material of the cellof the cell

RNA Differs from DNARNA Differs from DNA1.1. RNARNA has a sugar has a sugar riboseribose
DNADNA has a sugar has a sugar deoxyribosedeoxyribose
2.2. RNARNA contains the base contains the base uracil uracil (U)(U)
DNADNA has has thymine (T)thymine (T)

Three Types of RNAThree Types of RNA
• Messenger RNA (mRNA)Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries genetic information carries genetic information to the ribosomesto the ribosomes
• Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)Ribosomal RNA (rRNA), , along with protein, makes along with protein, makes up the up the ribosomesribosomes
• Transfer RNA (tRNA)Transfer RNA (tRNA) transfers amino acids to the transfers amino acids to the ribosomes where proteins ribosomes where proteins are synthesizedare synthesized

Overview of TranscriptionOverview of Transcription During During transcriptiontranscription in the in the
nucleus, a segment of DNA nucleus, a segment of DNA unwinds and unzips, and the unwinds and unzips, and the DNA DNA serves as aserves as a template for template for mRNA formationmRNA formation
RNA polymeraseRNA polymerase joins the joins the RNA nucleotides so that the RNA nucleotides so that the codons in mRNA are codons in mRNA are complementarycomplementary to the triplet to the triplet code in DNAcode in DNA

TranslationTranslation
• Three steps:Three steps:
1.1. initiationinitiation: start codon (AUG): start codon (AUG)
2.2. elongationelongation: amino acids : amino acids linkedlinked
3.3. terminationtermination: stop codon : stop codon (UAG, UAA, or UGA).(UAG, UAA, or UGA).
