What’s Transcription process?
Transcription is the process of producing a strand of mRNA from a strand of DNA
What’s Translation process?
Translation is the process through which information encoded in messenger RNA (mRNA) directs the addition of amino acids during protein synthesis.
How do we get to DNA to an actual model protein?
Transcription & Translation
What’s the location of Transcription occurs?
nucleus
What’s DNA role in Transcription?
To make a complimentary copy of strand of itself.
What’s mRNA’s role in Transcription?
mRNA is to carry the protein information to the cytoplasm.
What’s the location of Translation?
Cytoplasm
What is codon and their roles?
The codon roles are to code for a specific amino acids to create a protein.
What are anticodons and their role?
The anti-codon allows the tRNA to bring the correct amino acids in a line with an mRNA.
What’s mRNA role in translation?
Carry protein information
The role of mRNA in translation is to carry protein information from the DNA in a cell’s nucleus to the cell’s cytoplasm.
What’s tRNA role in Translation?
carry amino acids to the ribosome and match them with the codons in the mRNA strand.
What’s rRNA role in Translation?
rRNA role is to read and match the codons with tRNA anti-codons that codes for the amino acids that create a protein.
What’s the Amino Acids role in Translation?
To Code for the Proteins
What does mRNA stand for?
Messager RNA
What does tRNA stand for?
tranferr RNA
What does rRNA stand for?
ribosomes RNA
In a strand of RNA, the A’s will become..
U’s
What’s the anticodon from tRNA.
The complementary condon
Process of Natural selection
The process of who dies and who lives (Survival of the fittest)
How do species have mutations are genetic variation?
Its random, Organisms have random mutation and genetic variation because of sexual reproduction.
Are all mutations and genetic variation good?
Some mutations are good, some do nothing, and some are bad (all random)
Do species adapt to the environment to change?
No, they don’t “adapt” because it’s not optional for them. However, a random mutation by accident.
What are environmental factors?
Environmental Factors are the factors that determine what traits will survive or die off.
Can environment factors change?
Yes, environmental factors can change randomly.
