1. Steps to Protein Synthesis

2. Basic idea of Protein Synthesis

3. Terms to know
Codon- sequence of 3 nucleotides on mRNA- specifies an amino acid
Anticodon- complement to codon on tRNA it carries the correct amino acid to mRNA.
Point mutation- just a single nitrogen base in a nucleotide is changed. Codes for a different amino acid
Frame shift mutation- nitrogen base is added or deleted, changing every three nucleotide order that follows. Every amino acid is now incorrect for protein needed.

4. Transcription in Nucleus-mRNA makes complement of the ‘recipe’ DNA has for needed protein

5. mRNA moves to ribosome and rRNA begins Translation of mRNA
mRNA moves to ribosome and rRNA begins Translation of mRNA. rRna then summons tRNA to attach

6. Anticodons of tRNA come to the mRNA on ribosome
Anticodons of tRNA come to the mRNA on ribosome. tRna carries the specific amino acid it codes for.

Proline
Amino acid

7. tRNAs dump their amino acids at the spot on the mRNA stand where they find their match. This allows a long chain of amino acids to form
A Protein is born!!!! Yay!!!! Protein Synthesis has occurred!!!!
