I. 13.1 RNA
A. The Role of RNA1. How does RNA differ
from DNA?a. RNA- is a nucleic acid
that consists of long chains of nucleotides
b. Made up of a 5 carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and nitrogenous bases
![Page 5: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
c. Comparison- key differencesRNA
•Sugar is ribose
•Is single stranded
•Contains uracil instead of thymine
DNA• Sugar is
deoxyribose• Is double
stranded• Contains
thymine
![Page 6: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
2. Role Analogya. Builders use plans to build a home• DNA = the master plan – too valuable to
bring to the job site• RNA = blueprint- inexpensive and
disposable• The master plan is used to prepare the
blueprints
![Page 7: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
3. Functions of RNA
a. Major job- protein synthesisb. Controls the assembly of amino acids
into proteins
![Page 8: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
c. The 3 different types of RNA
•Messenger “m” RNA
•Ribosomal “r” RNA
•Transfer “t” RNA
![Page 9: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
d. Roles of the 3 Types of RNA
•mRNA- carry information from DNA to other parts of the cell
•rRNA- make up the subunits of the ribosome; worktable for making protein
•tRNA- carries amino acids to the ribosome and matches them to the coded mRNA message
![Page 10: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
B. RNA Synthesis1. How does the cell make mRNA?a. Transcription – segments of DNA serve as
templates to produce complimentary RNA molecules
• The base sequences of transcribed RNA complement the base sequences of the DNA template
![Page 11: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
•In prokaryotes, transcription takes place in the cytoplasm
•In eukaryotes, it takes place in the nucleus
![Page 12: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
•Transcription requires an enzyme- RNA polymerase
•RNA polymerase binds to DNA and separates the 2 strands
•Next, it uses one strand of DNA to make a template in RNA
•One gene can produce 100’s-1,000’s of RNA molecules

b. Promoters•RNA polymerase
bonds only to promoters
•This tells RNA polymerase where to start and stop transcription
•Promoters are signals in the DNA molecule’s sequence

c. RNA editing•RNA molecules require some editing
before being read•Introns- the pieces that are edited out of
the pre-mRNA molecule•Exons- the remaining pieces after the pre-
mRNA molecule has been edited
![Page 15: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
•Describe how RNA differs from DNA•Explain the functions of RNA•Describe how cells synthesize RNA
![Page 16: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
•Describe how the genetic code is read•Explain the role of ribosomes in assembling
proteins•Describe the “central dogma” of molecular biology
![Page 17: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
II. 13.2 Ribosomes and Protein SynthesisA. The Genetic Code1. What is the genetic
code, and how is it read?
a. First step- transcribe the base sequences from DNA to RNA
b. RNA then must be translated into polypeptides, which form proteins
![Page 18: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
c. Polypeptides- a long chain of amino acids that makes protein
•There are 20 amino acids commonly found in proteins
•The properties of a protein depend on the order in which the amino acids are assembled
![Page 19: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
•The 4 bases (A, U, C, G) in RNA form a “language”
•These bases form the genetic code
•The sequence of bases is read a codon at a time
•Codons contain 3 bases•Each codon specifies a
single amino acid to be added to the polypeptide chain
![Page 20: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
a. There are 4 different bases in RNA, which means there are 64 possible codons
• 4 x 4 x 4 = 64 possibilities
2. How to Read Codons
![Page 21: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Most amino acids can be specified by more than one codon
• Ex: Leucine can be coded for in 6 ways: UUA, UUG, CUU, CUC, CUA, and CUG
• Genetic code tables are used to decode codons
![Page 22: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
3. Start and Stop Codons
a. AKA the “punctuation marks” of the genetic code
b. The methionine codon AUG = start
c. mRNA is then read 3 bases at a time until it reaches a “stop” codon.
d. Once stopped the polypeptide is complete
![Page 23: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
B. Translation (p. 368 – 369)1. What role does the
ribosomes play in assembling proteins?
a. Analogy: putting together a complex toy
• Need to read the directions AND put the parts together
• Ribosomes carry out these tasks in a cell
Lego Translation
Translation animation
![Page 24: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
•Ribosomes use the sequence of codons in mRNA to assemble amino acids into polypeptide chains
•Translation – the decoding of the mRNA message into protein
![Page 25: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
2. Steps in Translation
a. Transcribed mRNA from the nucleus moves into the cytoplasm to attach to a ribosome
b. Codons pass through the ribosome and tRNAs bring the proper amino acids into the ribosome
c. Each tRNA molecule carries just one kind of amino acid
![Page 26: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• tRNA has 3 unpaired nitrogen bases = anticodon
•So, each tRNA anticodon is complimentary to one mRNA codon
•Ex: tRNA anticodon is UAC, the mRNA codon is AUG
![Page 27: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
d. Like an assembly-line worker that attaches one part to another, the ribosome helps form a peptide bond between the amino acids
e. The chain continues to grow with each tRNA coming in until it reaches the “stop” codon on mRNA
f. The ribosome then releases the protein and the mRNA
![Page 28: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
3. The Roles of tRNA and rRNA in Translation
a. All 3 major forms of RNA work together to make protein synthesis occur
b. mRNA brings the DNA message out of the nucleus
c. The tRNA deliver the amino acid called for by the mRNA
d. The rRNA are part of the ribosome and help locate the “start” code of the mRNA message
![Page 29: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
C. The Molecular Basis of Heredity1. What is the central dogma of molecular
biology?
a. Information is transferred from DNA to RNA to protein
![Page 30: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Summary
b. Protein has everything to do with how genes are expressed
• Ex: A gene that codes for an enzyme to produce pigment can control the color of a flower
c. Gene expression – the way in which DNA, RNA, and proteins are involved in putting genetic information into action in living cells
d. It’s universal!
![Page 31: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

2. Gene Mutations
a. Point mutations – mutation where a single or very few nucleotides are changed
•Include substitutions, deletions, and insertions
•Usually occur during replication of DNA
![Page 35: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
b. Substitutions•One base is changed to a different base•Usually affect no more than a single
amino acid•Sometimes have no effect at all
Analogy:
OriginalThe fat cat ate the wee rat.
Point Mutation The fat hat ate the wee rat.
![Page 36: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
c. Insertions and deletions•One base is either inserted or removed
from the DNA sequence•Effects can be dramatic•Can lead to frameshift mutations
Analogy 1:OriginalThe fat cat ate the wee rat.
Frame Shift The fat caa tet hew eer at.
Analogy 2:OriginalThe fat cat ate the wee rat.

B. Effects of Mutations
1. How do mutations affect genes?a. Genetic information can be altered by
natural events or by artificial means• Fact: Incorrect bases are routinely
copied during DNA replication at a rate of 1/10,000,000
![Page 39: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
2. Mutagens
a. defined: chemical or physical agents in the environment
• Chemical examples: pesticides, plant alkaloids, tobacco smoke, pollutants
• Physical examples: radiation like X-rays and UV light
![Page 40: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
3. Harmful and Helpful Mutationsa. The effects of mutations on genes vary
widely.• Some have little effect• Some are beneficial• Some negatively disrupt gene function• Most have little or no effectb. Effect is situationalc. Can generate variability within a species
![Page 41: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
d. Harmful effects•The most harmful effects come when the
structure of a protein is dramatically changed
•These can disrupt normal body routines•Can result in genetic disorders•Ex: Cystic Fibrosis
![Page 42: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
e. Beneficial Effects•Sometimes mutations can produce
proteins with new or altered functions that can be useful to an organism in a changing environment
•Ex: mutations have allowed certain insects to be resistant to pesticides – like mosquitoes
•Plant and animal breeders make good use of mutations
![Page 43: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
•Non-disjunction in plants during meiosis can be a beneficial mutation
•Leads to the formation of polyploid plants
•Plants can be triploid or tetraploid
•Ex: bananas, citrus, sugarcane, grains, etc…
Strawberries are octoploid 8N = 562N = 7

IV. 13.4: Gene Regulation and Expression
A. How are genes regulated?
1. In prokaryotes DNA binding proteins regulate genes by controlling transcription
2. Genes are organized into operons: groups of genes that are regulated together
![Page 50: Chapter 13- RNA and Protein Synthesis Mr. Bragg 2013-2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0281a28abf838cd702a/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
a. On the operon are regulatory regions
• Promoters – site where RNA polymerase binds for transcription
• Operators – site where a DNA binding protein can attach; analogy: car boot
