AAC Transcription and Translation

It allows cells to replicate their DNA for cell division.

It enables the conversion of genetic information into functional proteins.

It helps in the breakdown of nutrients for energy.

It is responsible for the elimination of waste products from the cell.

It binds to the promoter region on DNA.

It separates the DNA strands during transcription.

It adds nucleotides to the growing RNA strand.

It splices exons together.

RNA splicing removes exons from the RNA transcript

RNA splicing allows a single gene to code for multiple polypeptides

RNA splicing occurs in the cytoplasm

RNA splicing is not necessary for mRNA maturation

mRNA and tRNA

tRNA and rRNA

mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA

mRNA and rRNA

64 possible codons, 61 code for amino acids

20 possible codons, 17 code for amino acids

61 possible codons, 64 code for amino acids

mRNA

tRNA

ribosome

DNA

A site - holds mRNA

P site - holds empty tRNA

E site - holds tRNA with polypeptide chain

A site - holds tRNA with next amino acid

It binds to the ribosome's E site

It matches with the codon on mRNA

It synthesizes amino acids

It signals the end of translation
