Study Notes
Nucleic Acids and Protein Synthesis
- mRNA (messenger RNA) is almost all involved in translating genetic code into protein amino acid sequence.
Experimental Evidence for Genetic Material
- The Griffith experiment (1928) and the Avery-MacLeod-McCarty experiment (1944) provided evidence that DNA is the genetic material.
RNA Nucleotides
- Uracil is a nucleotide found in RNA but not in DNA.
- Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and the sugar-phosphate backbone are nucleotide components common to both DNA and RNA.
RNA Classes and Function
- tRNA (transfer RNA) is primarily involved in carrying amino acids to the ribosome for protein synthesis.
Retroviruses
- The Temin and Baltimore experiments (1970) provided evidence that RNA is the genetic material for retroviruses.
