1 the Genetic Code Shown as mRNA 5′ → 3′ 64 codons Redundant
One “start” codon: AUG Three “stop” codons: UAG, UAA, UGA (don’t encode amino acids)

2 the Genetic Code For each gene, one DNA strand is transcribed
Template strand “read” mRNA complementary to template CTACGAGGAGGTGAAGCGATGCCCCGTAGCCGATAGTAGC DNA 5’ 3’ GATGCTCCTCCACTTCGCTACGGGGCATCGGCTATCATCG 3’ 5’ template strand CUACGAGGAGGUGAAGCGAUGCCCCGUAGCCGAUAGUAGC 3’ 5’ mRNA

3 the Genetic Code Non-template strand looks like RNA (except T’s)
also called the sense strand non-template strand CTACGAGGAGGTGAAGCGATGCCCCGTAGCCGATAGTAGC DNA 5’ 3’ GATGCTCCTCCACTTCGCTACGGGGCATCGGCTATCATCG 3’ 5’ CUACGAGGAGGUGAAGCGAUGCCCCGUAGCCGAUAGUAGC 3’ 5’ mRNA

4 the Genetic Code Ribosome starts at 5’ end of mRNA (in eukaryotes)
Protein synthesis begins at start codon, ends at stop codon codons CUACGAGGAGGUGAAGCGAUGCCCCGUAGCCGAUAGUAGC mRNA 5’ 3’ start codon: AUG stop codon: UAG, UGA or UAA MetProArgSerArg protein this stop codon is not “in-frame” so it’s ignored!

5 Mutation Change in nucleotide sequence of DNA Caused by:
DNA polymerase mistake Chemical change within cell UV light or other radiation Mutagenic chemical
