Transcription Notes

To make proteins from DNA.

To store genetic information.

To protect the nucleus.

To replicate DNA.

• RNA is double-stranded while DNA is single-stranded

• RNA contains thymine instead of uracil

• RNA contains ribose sugar instead of deoxyribose sugar

• RNA is found only in the nucleus

TO direct DNA replication.

To transport amino acids to the nucleus.

To carry a copy of the DNA sequence out of the nucleus.

To act as a structural component of the cell membrane.

To catalyze transcription.

To carry amino acids to the ribosome.

To form the structure of ribosomes.

To carry genetic information out of the nucleus.

To splice mRNA.

To form the core of ribosome structure & catalyze protein synthesis.

To copy DNA.

DNA is translated into proteins.

mRNA is transcribed into DNA.

Proteins are synthesized into DNA.

DNA is transcribed into mRNA.
