....the LORD that created thee, ...and he that formed thee,
Isaiah 43:1
DESIGN = DESIGNER - Exhibit A
Noitice words like "assembled", "set of instructions", "translation", "decoding" & "read"
"RNA is a nucleic acid that is a long chain of nucleotides, used for putting the genetic code into action
DNA is instructions on how to build proteins: first step is to copy part of the base sequence from DNA into RNA, RNA then directs production of proteins, which then give an organism it's characteristics
DNA stays in nucleus, RNA goes to ribosomes
mRNA (messenger)- carry information from DNA to other parts of the cell; rRNA (ribosomal)- site
of protein synthesis; tRNA (transfer)- transfers amino acids to the ribosome
RNA polymerase- binds to DNA and separates the strands, it then uses one strand of DNA to make a complementary RNA strand
Promoters- regions of DNA with specific base sequences that tell RNA polymerase where to start
Polypeptides- long chains of amino acids assembled to form a protein
There are 20 different amino acids, assembled in different orders to form the different proteins
The sequence of nucleotide bases in an mRNA molecule is a set of instructions that gives the order of
amino acids to produce a polypeptide
*Ribosomes read the mRNA and assembles the amino acids
Translation- the process of decoding mRNA into a protein
Steps in Translation
- mRNA binds to ribosome and moves one codon at a time; tRNAs bring the proper amino acid (anticodon- three base sequence that matches a codon)
- amino acids assembled into protein
- "stop" codon"
