Section 4 Protein Synthesis
Chapter 10
Translation
Steps of Translation
During translation, amino acids are assembled from information encoded in mRNA.
As the mRNA codons move through the ribosome, tRNAs add specific amino acids to the growing polypeptide chain.
The process continues until a stop codon is reached and the newly made protein is released.

The entire gene sequence of the human genome, the complete genetic content, is now known.
To learn where and when human cells use each of the proteins coded for in the approximately 30,000 genes in the human genome will take much more analysis.

DNA is made up of two strands of subunits called nucleotides. The two strands are twisted around each other in a double helix shape.
Explain why the structure of a DNA molecule is sometimes described as a zipper.
Answer:
DNA is often described as a zipper because the two strands of DNA look like each lengthwise half of a zipper and the bases and hydrogen bonds between the strands look like the “teeth” of a zipper.

DNA can be damaged by mistakes made during its
replication. The mistakes are called mutations.
Part A Explain eukaryotic DNA replication.
Part B Explain how a mutation during replication can
affect a protein that is synthesized.

62. Extended Response, continued
Chapter 10
Standardized Test Prep
Extended Response, continued
Answer:
Part A During DNA replication, each strand serves as a template. DNA replication begins when helicase enzymes separate the DNA strands. DNA polymerases add complementary nucleotides to each of the original DNA strands. The DNA polymerases are then released. Two DNA molecules identical to the original DNA molecule result.
Part B When mistakes in DNA replication occur, the base sequence of the newly formed DNA differs from that of the original DNA, changing the original code on the DNA. When the mutated DNA is transcribed, the sequence of bases on the mRNA is incorrect. Translating the incorrect mRNA can result in an incorrect amino acid which can affect the protein’s structure and ultimately its function.
