Name _________________________________ Date __________________ Class _________ Protein Synthesis Notes: Transcription and Translation Review---DNA vs. RNA Steps of Protein Synthesis Step 1- Transcription o Function: A single strand of ______________ is made from ______________. o Location: In the ___________________________. o Steps of Transcription 1. ____________________________ (an enzyme) attaches to DNA at a special sequence that serves as a “start signal”. 2. The DNA strands are ___________________ and one strand serves as a template. 3. The RNA bases attach to the complementary DNA template, and ________ is made! 4. The RNA polymerase recognizes a „stop‟ part on the DNA molecule and _____________________ the new _________________ molecule. The mRNA leaves the ___________________ and travels to the ______________________. o Transcription Practice: Transcribe this strand of DNA into RNA (no T‟s in RNA!) DNA: A A T C T A G A T C A T T A RNA:______________________________ Step 2- Translation o Function: Pieces of RNA make _____________________, which then make ___________. o Location: In the _____________________________. o There are different types of RNA: 1. mRNA: messenger RNA Carries a _______________________ (genetic code) from the nucleus to the ribosome (how to make proteins) 2. tRNA: transfer RNA _________________________ amino acids to the ribosome Transcription Translation
