Protein Synthesis Flashcards
(45 cards)
genetic information that is translated into proteins
Deoxyribonucleic acid
Dna Building blocks
: Nucleotides
Dna Pentose sugar:
Deoxyribose
• Purine:
2 rings
Pyrimidine
1 ring
Chargaff’s Rule = =
Adenine = Thymine
Cytosine = Guanine
Chargaff’s Rule
If there’s 50 Adenine, there should be 50 Thymine

RNA
Ribonucleic acid (
Rna Pentose sugar:
Ribose
Rna = =
• Adenine = URACIL
• Cytosine = Guanine
copy of DNA in form of RNA
Mrna
- carries the information of DNA in the nucleus to cytoplasm to be translated into protein
Mrna
Information is in form of Codon (sets of three bases – AUG)
Mrna
Has anticodon information
Trna
carries and transfer amino acid to make protei
Trna
- RNA component of ribosome
Rrna
Dna replication occures in
Nucleus
Why dna rep
produce two identical DNA molecule
Each molecule consists of an old strand and a new strand

Stages of dna rep
• 3mainstages: – 1 Unwinding
– 2 Base pairing – 3 Joining
