Study Notes
RNA and Protein Synthesis
- Messenger RNA (mRNA) is responsible for transferring genetic information from DNA to protein.
- Transfer RNA (tRNA) carries amino acids to the ribosome during translation.
- Codons in the genetic code function to specify the sequence of amino acids in a protein.
- The elongation step of translation involves the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids.
- The termination codon in translation signals the end of protein synthesis.
- mRNA carries genetic information from DNA to protein synthesis.
- Codons in the genetic code determine the sequence of amino acids in a protein.
- Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) makes up the ribosomes.
- The anticodon on tRNA recognizes and binds to the corresponding codon on mRNA.
- During the initiation step of translation, the ribosome binds to the mRNA and the first amino acid is brought to the ribosome by the initiator tRNA.
