PLSC 363 Chapter Notes - Chapter 14: Hydrolysis, Uracil, Cytosol
Document Summary
Proteins = the link between genotype and phenotype gene expression - the process by which dna directs synthesis of proteins. 14. 1 genes specify proteins via transcription and translation. Neurospora = haploid easier to detect recessive mutations food requirement for growth. Agar and minimal medium lacked enzyme due to faulty gene function of a gene dictate production of specific enzyme. Not able to synthesize molecule in minimal ingredients, only complete. Placed in medium vials with one additional substance and observed. Genes = instructions for making specific protein. Primary transcript - initial rna transcript from any gene. Codons - mrna nucleotide triplets specifies which of the 20 amino acids. Ex: 300 nucleotides = 100 amino acids. Aug = start termination codons (3) end translation redundancy in third base code for same amino acid reading frame. 14. 2 transcription is the dna-directed synthesis of rna: a closer look.
