Protein Synthesis Foldable

AHSGE STD 8.

Outside

DNA Replication- When DNA makes a copy of itself in order to be passed along to a new cell during cell division.

Base Pairs- Adenine -Thymine Cytosine -Guanine

Location- occurs in the nucleus

Final Product- 2 DNA double helices.

Transcription- Copying DNA instructions for proteins into mRNA

Base Pairs- (No T’s)

Adenine-UracilCytosine -Guanine

mRNA- Carries the code for an amino acid, every three bases is called a codon

Location- occurs in the nucleus

Final Product- mRNA

Translation- the reading of mRNA by tRNA (at the ribosome) to make proteins

Start codon –3 mRNA bases, AUG

rRNA- help make up the ribosome's that carry out translation.

tRNA- carries an amino acid and transfers it to the protein chain being made; every 3 bases is called the anticodon and it pairs with the mRNA codon

Location- cytoplasm

Final Product- Protein
