DNA and Protein Powerpoint
DNA and Protein Powerpoint
From Crierie, Greig, Ruthven (2019), this lesson explores the following Science
Understanding components as they appear on p. 17:
A gene consists of a unique sequence of nucleotides that code for a functional protein or an RNA molecule.
• Distinguish between exons and introns as coding and non-coding segments of DNA found in genes
• Describe how both exons and introns are transcribed but only the information contained in exons will be
translated to form a polypeptide
Protein synthesis involves transcription of a gene into messenger RNA (mRNA) and translation of mRNA into an
amino acid sequence at the ribosomes. In eukaryotic cells, transcription occurs in the nucleus.
• Describe and illustrate the role of DNA, mRNA, transfer RNA (tRNA) and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) in transcription
and translation
• Describe the relationship between codons, anticodons and amino acids
