    Study Notes

    Transcription and Translation Overview

    • mRNA is synthesized during transcription, which occurs in the nucleus.
    • DNA is also located within the nucleus, serving as the template for mRNA formation.

    Role of RNA Types

    • mRNA functions to carry the genetic information from DNA to ribosomes for protein synthesis.
    • rRNA, or ribosomal RNA, is a structural component of ribosomes, essential for protein assembly.
    • RNA contains uracil (U) in place of thymine (T), which is found in DNA.

    Protein Synthesis

    • Proteins are composed of amino acids, which are linked together during translation at the ribosome.
    • tRNA (transfer RNA) has crucial roles in translation, utilizing anticodons to pair with mRNA codons and delivering the appropriate amino acids.

    Locations of Key Processes

    • Transcription occurs in the nucleus, where the DNA sequence is converted into mRNA.
    • Translation takes place in the cytoplasm, where ribosomes read the mRNA to build proteins.

    tRNA Functions

    • tRNA is responsible for attaching amino acids to form polypeptide chains, which eventually fold into functional proteins.
    • tRNA resides primarily in the cytoplasm, facilitating the transport of amino acids to ribosomes.

    Mobility of RNA

    • RNA can exit the nucleus after its synthesis, in contrast to DNA, which remains in the nucleus.
