Document Summary

Gene expression and regulation part 1 of 2. Genetic information is transcribed into rna and translated into protein. 12. 2: dna is transcribed into rna, rna is translated into protein. The message is carried by messenger rna (ribonucleic acid) Protein synthesis occurs on ribosomes in the cytoplasm. The message must be carried from the dna in the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm. Rna uses the base uracil (u) instead of thymine (t) Three types of rna aid in protein synthesis: messenger rna (mrna, ribosomal rna (rrna, transfer rna (trna) Comparing nucleic acids: dna and rna table 12. 1. Major types of rna (ribonucleic acid): mrna (messenger) fig. Carries the code for protein synthesis from dna to ribosomes. Groups of three bases called codons specify which amino acid will be added to a polypeptide chain during translation. Major types of rna (ribonucleic acid): rrna (ribosomal) Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis during translation.
