BIOL 142 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Coding Strand, Phenylalanine, Human Genetics
Document Summary
Mendel"s first and second laws (derived without knowledge of chromosomes or sex cells) Don"t need parts of chapter we haven"t studied yet. Coding two complementary strands of dna: (5" -> 3") atggaattctcgctc (coding, sense strand) (3" 3") auggaauucucgcuc (mrna made from template strand) Template strand (anti-codons) 3" aag 5" mrna messenger rna (codons) Messenger rna is synthesized complementary and antiparallel to the template strand (anticodons) of dna, so the resulting mrna consists of codons corresponding to those in the coding strand of. All strands are synthesized from the 5" ends > > > to the 3" ends for both dna and rna. Protein chains are synthesized from the amino ends > > > to the carboxy ends. Color mnemonic: the old end is the cold end (blue); the new end is the hot end (where new residues are added) (red).
