6. “CENTRAL DOGMA” of BIOLOGY

7. All DNA is structurally organized into nucleotides
All DNA is functionally organized into genes
All genes are further divided into introns and exons
Exons and introns are both made up of base sequences, but differ in their functions.

8. What is a gene?
Gene: a sequence of nucleotides along the DNA double helix ; instructions for making ONE protein
Genes are heritable, or can be passed down to offspring through sexual reproduction (23 chromosomes from mom, 23 chromosomes from dad)
Genome: the entire set of genes in an organism

9. Locus (loci): the specific position of a gene on a chromosome

10. Examples of Genetic Loci on Human Chromosome #11

11. Do all species have the same number of genes?
Estimates of gene numbers show some trends:
Prokaryotes tend to have fewer genes than eukaryotes
Number of genes does not correlate to “complexity” of each species (some plants and other animals have more genes than humans)

14. 3 Types of RNA Messenger RNA (mrRNA) Shape: linear
Function: carries code for synthesizing protein
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
Shape: N/A
Function: combines with proteins to form ribosomes
Transfer RNA (tRNA)
Shape: clover leaf
Function: carries an amino acid to the ribosome

15. Protein Synthesis : Overview

16. DNA is Transcribed in the Nucleus
The strand of DNA that is being transcribed (copied) is called the “anti-sense strand”.
The strand that is not being copied is called the “sense strand”
mRNA is build (and translated) in the 5’3’ direction ; therefore the anti-sense strand must be the 3’5’ strand of the DNA double helix

19. Translation Animation 2 (HL Only)
With Initiation, Elongation, and Termination
Also with E, P, and A sites

20. How is mRNA translated?
The “language” of DNA is made of “words” three bases long on mRNA called codons.
Each codon codes for a specific amino acid
Each gene codes for one protein.
mRNA is translated in the 5’3’ direction
What are the three codons shown in this picture?

21. How is the Genetic Code used to translate the codons on mRNA?
Each codon codes for one amino acid.

22. A. Decode the amino acid sequence of this very short gene

23. What are mutations and why do they happen?
Mutation: any change to the DNA nucleotide sequence
Examples:
1) deletions
2) additions
3) substitutions
Causes: 1) “typos” during replication
2) environmental factors

24. B. How would the final protein change if the following mutation was made?
C mutated to T

26. Steps of Protein Synthesis
Transcription
Translation
1) mRNA binds to small subunit of ribosome signaling a tRNA with a matching anticodon to attach to the ribosome. This signals the large subunit to bind and complete the ribosome.
2) The ribosome starts reading the codons on the mRNA, which signals tRNAs with matching anticodons to attach to the ribosome.
3) Each tRNA comes to the ribosome carrying an amino acid coded for by the mRNA codon. Each amino added to the elongating polypeptide chain by forming a peptide bond.
4) The ribosome continues until it hits a stop sequence, then it releases the polypeptide and the mRNA.
1) RNA Polymerase opens double helix by breaking hydrogen bonds.
2) RNA polymerase then attaches RNA nucleotides that compliment the stretch of DNA being transcribed (gene) in a 5 3 prime direction.
3) RNA nucleotides (adenine, uracil, guanine, cytosine) are covalently bonded together.
4) When the gene is completely transcribed, the resulting mRNA molecule is released and exits the nucleus, and the DNA helix twists back into a double helix.

27. mRNA Splicing (HL ONLY): http://www. sumanasinc

28. Structure of a Ribosome (HL ONLY)
SMALL SUBUNIT:
Holds mRNA
LARGE SUBUNIT:
A Site – holds the tRNA carrying the next amino acid to be added to the chain
P Site – holds the tRNA carrying the growing polypeptide (protein) chain
E Site – exit site holding the empty tRNA

29. What are the 3 stages of translation?
Initiation
Elongation
Termination

30. How is translation initiated?

31. How is translation terminated?
When a ribosome reaches the stop codon (UAG, UAA, or UGA) on the mRNA strand, a release factor protein binds to the A site because there is no tRNA with a complimentary stop anticodon. The binding of the release factor protein causes the tRNA to be released from the P site, and the peptide chain is released from the tRNA. Once the tRNA detaches, the small and large subunits of the ribosome separate. TERMINATION!

33. What are polysomes?
Polysome = a group of ribosomes moving along, and translating the same mRNA strand
Common in Prokaryotes because they don’t have a nucleus, so can start translation before transcription ends
