ProteinSynthesis
Gene -
sequence of nucleotides molecule thatencodes a
on a DNA
protein.
Allele-variation of a
gene.
The genetic code of a gene is the sequence of bases in theDNA
molecule that
codes for the order of amino acids in a polypeptide.
Genetic Code Features: codon
- -
Triplet code-sequence of 3 basel codel for one amino acid
only one codon codes for one amino acid.
Universal -
the same triplet codes same amino acid
for the in
all organisms.
Non-overlapping-codons are read individually and in sequence. In 3's.
Degenerate mostamino acids are coded forby more them
-
one
codon. Also a and stop
START codon.
several codons can be used to make one amino acid.
DNA
allocontains some sequences of bases which do notcode for
anything.
noncoding DNA
-
Non coding base sequences are called introns butthere
are
omitted in the code outthe nucleus.
mRNAwhich takes the
80% of DNA
is
non-coding.
KNA->transcription -> mRNA translation -> protein.
