Question:Question:
• How does RNARNA (ribonucleic acid) (ribonucleic acid) differ from DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)?
![Page 6: PROTEIN SYNTHESIS. Protein Synthesis proteinsThe production (synthesis) of proteins. 3 phases3 phases: 1.Transcription 2.RNA processing 3.Translation.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f2c5503460f94c473f9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
RNARNA differs from DNADNA
1. RNARNA has a sugar ribosesugar ribose
DNADNA has a sugar deoxyribosesugar deoxyribose
2. RNARNA contains uracil (U)uracil (U)
DNADNA has thymine (T)thymine (T)
3. RNARNA molecule is single-strandedsingle-stranded
DNADNA is double-strandeddouble-stranded

1. Transcription1. Transcription
• The transfer of information in the nucleusnucleus from a DNADNA molecule to an RNARNA molecule.
• Only 1 1 DNADNA strand serves as the templatetemplate
• Starts at promoter DNADNA (TATA box)
• Ends at terminator DNADNA (stop)
• When complete, pre-RNApre-RNA molecule is released.

Answer:Answer: Helicase Helicase andand RNA RNA PolymerasePolymerase
• HelicaseHelicase separates the DNADNA molecule by breaking the H-bonds between the bases.
• RNA PolymeraseRNA Polymerase moves along one of the DNA DNA strandsstrands and links RNARNA nucleotides together.

When things go wrong…• Mutations: changes in the DNA sequence,
that may be passed along to future generations.
• Point mutations: a single base substitutionTHE CAT SAW THE RATTHE CAT SAW THE HAT
• Deletion: a small DNA segment is lostTHE CAT SAW THE RATTHE ATS AWT HER AT
• Insertion: a segment of DNA is added THE CAT SAW THE HAT
THE CAT SAW THE BHAT
![Page 42: PROTEIN SYNTHESIS. Protein Synthesis proteinsThe production (synthesis) of proteins. 3 phases3 phases: 1.Transcription 2.RNA processing 3.Translation.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f2c5503460f94c473f9/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Mutations• Frame-shift mutation: modification of the reading
frame after a deletion or insertion, resulting in all codons downstreams being different.
For example:THE RAT SAW THE CAT AND RAN
If you take out the “R” in “RAT” and shift the frames, you get:
THE ATS AWT HEC ATA NDR AN
The resulting sentence (or mRNA message) is meaningless!

Mutations
• Somatic mutations: occur in body cells, or cells that do not lead to gametes.
• Somatic mutations that occur in leaves, roots or stems are usually not passed on to future generations… UNLESS the plant is reproduced asexually.
