Document Summary

Structure: five carbon structure (deoxyribose), a phosphate group, and a base: double helix - twisted ladder of sugar phosphate strands, connecting bases form rungs ii. Bases: adenine, always pairs with thymine, guanine, always pairs with cytosine. 2. introns - non coding regions: spliced out in mrna, many genes = chromosome iv. How genes work: transcription, recognize and bind i. Enzyme (rna polymerase) binds to dna and begins reading gene"s message: transcribe i. Rna polymerase builds a single strand rna copy of the gene: known as mrna transcript, terminate i. ii. Rna polymerase encounters a code telling it to stop transcription stops and the mrna transcript is released: cap and process i. In eukaryotes: mrna"s receive extra processing: cap and tail added for protection and to promote recognition, non-coding sections (introns) are removed, translation - uses information from mrna to create proteins a. Ingredients needed in the cytoplasm: i. ii. iii.
