9. End Show 12–3 RNA and Protein Synthesis Slide 9 of 39 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall The Genetic Code The sequence of bases in mRNA specifies the sequence of Amino Acids in the protein. The ribosomes read the mRNA 3 bases at a time.

10. End Show 12–3 RNA and Protein Synthesis Slide 10 of 39 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall The Genetic Code A codon consists of three consecutive nucleotides on mRNA that specify a particular amino acid.

12. End Show 12–3 RNA and Protein Synthesis Slide 12 of 39 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Translation Translation is the decoding of an mRNA message into a protein. Translation takes place on ribosomes.

13. End Show 12–3 RNA and Protein Synthesis Slide 13 of 39 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Translation Nucleus mRNA Messenger RNA leaves the nucleus & binds with a ribosome.

14. End Show 12–3 RNA and Protein Synthesis Slide 14 of 39 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Translation Each tRNA carries a specific amino acid. These bases at the other end, called the anticodon, are complementary to one mRNA codon. The ribosome binds new tRNA molecules and amino acids as it moves along the mRNA.

17. End Show 12–3 RNA and Protein Synthesis Slide 17 of 39 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Translation The process continues until the ribosome reaches a stop codon. Polypeptide Ribosome tRNA mRNA

18. End Show 12–3 RNA and Protein Synthesis Slide 18 of 39 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Genes and Proteins The sequence of bases in DNA is used as a template for mRNA. The codons of mRNA specify the sequence of amino acids in a protein. Codon mRNA Alanine Arginine Leucine Amino acids within a polypeptide Single strand of DNA
