Study Notes
Protein Synthesis
- The process of decoding RNA information to produce a specific protein is called translation.
- This process involves the assembly of amino acids into a polypeptide chain according to the sequence of nucleotides in the RNA.
Transcription
- The process of converting DNA information into RNA is called transcription.
- During transcription, a section of DNA is copied into a complementary RNA molecule.
RNA Structure
- Uracil is the nucleotide present in RNA instead of thymine, which is found in DNA.
Genetic Material
- DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) is the type of genetic material that contains the information for the functioning of cells and controls the structure and functioning of the body.
