RNA - a nucleic acid present in all living cells that has structural similarities to DNA.
mRNA - mRNA molecules carry the genetic information needed to make proteins.
tRNA - type of RNA that carries amino acids to the ribosome.
rRNA - helps translate the information in messenger RNA (mRNA) into protein.
Amino Acid - the basic building blocks of proteins.
Codon - a sequence of three nucleotides which together form a unit of genetic code in a DNA or RNA molecule. (*)
Anticodon - (*), corresponding to a complementary codon in messenger RNA.
Nucleotide - A molecule consisting of a nitrogen-containing base, a phosphate group, and a sugar
Mutation - A change in the DNA sequence of an organism.]]> 2023-05-12 13:26:33 UTC https://padlet.com/2025ackermang/2bjmqqxhpnj08s61/wish/2588702553 2025ackermang https://padlet.com/2025ackermang/2bjmqqxhpnj08s61/wish/2588707282 How many nucleotides code for one amino acid?
3
Where does translation take place?
 Ribosome
Where does transcription take place?
Cytoplasm (Prokaryotes)/Nucleus (Eukaryotes)
Describe what happens during the following mutations
Point mutations: A genetic alteration caused by the substitution of a single nucleotide for another nucleotide.
Frameshift mutations: the entire gene sequence following the mutation will be incorrectly read.
Deletion: changes the DNA sequence by removing at least one nucleotide in a gene.]]> 2023-05-12 13:30:19 UTC https://padlet.com/2025ackermang/2bjmqqxhpnj08s61/wish/2588707282 2025ackermang https://padlet.com/2025ackermang/2bjmqqxhpnj08s61/wish/2591294010 2023-05-15 13:08:10 UTC https://padlet.com/2025ackermang/2bjmqqxhpnj08s61/wish/2591294010 2025ackermang https://padlet.com/2025ackermang/2bjmqqxhpnj08s61/wish/2593072712 DNA is what codes for many of our traits for both appearance and attributes. (ex: Heterochromia, handedness -left handed, right handed-)

Mutations often lead to slight or major changes to traits of appearance and attributes which can lead to either minor or major risks. (ex: Sickle Cell Disease)

Protein synthesis produces proteins for the body, this makes it important because it creates structures that are needed for both individual cells and the whole body.]]> 2023-05-16 13:10:44 UTC https://padlet.com/2025ackermang/2bjmqqxhpnj08s61/wish/2593072712 2025ackermang https://padlet.com/2025ackermang/2bjmqqxhpnj08s61/wish/2593109282 (In codon sequence), Met equates to start while UAA equals stop.

3 nucleotides equals to 1 amino acid(s) in humans.

mRNA is Messenger RNA, tRNA is Transfer RNA, and rRNA is Ribosomal RNA. 

Transcription and Translation work together to complete protein synthesis and the steps have similar names, but different processes.

Translation takes place in the ribosome while Transcription can either take place in the cytoplasm (prokaryotes) or the nucleus (eukaryotes) depending on what the cell is.

There can be many codons that code for one amino acid depending on the situation.]]> 2023-05-16 13:32:49 UTC https://padlet.com/2025ackermang/2bjmqqxhpnj08s61/wish/2593109282 2025ackermang https://padlet.com/2025ackermang/2bjmqqxhpnj08s61/wish/2593111393 2023-05-16 13:33:58 UTC https://padlet.com/2025ackermang/2bjmqqxhpnj08s61/wish/2593111393 2025ackermang https://padlet.com/2025ackermang/2bjmqqxhpnj08s61/wish/2593113153 2023-05-16 13:34:59 UTC https://padlet.com/2025ackermang/2bjmqqxhpnj08s61/wish/2593113153 2025ackermang https://padlet.com/2025ackermang/2bjmqqxhpnj08s61/wish/2593115056 2023-05-16 13:36:16 UTC https://padlet.com/2025ackermang/2bjmqqxhpnj08s61/wish/2593115056 2025ackermang https://padlet.com/2025ackermang/2bjmqqxhpnj08s61/wish/2593118857 2023-05-16 13:38:38 UTC https://padlet.com/2025ackermang/2bjmqqxhpnj08s61/wish/2593118857 2025ackermang https://padlet.com/2025ackermang/2bjmqqxhpnj08s61/wish/2593178867 2023-05-16 14:16:40 UTC https://padlet.com/2025ackermang/2bjmqqxhpnj08s61/wish/2593178867 2025ackermang https://padlet.com/2025ackermang/2bjmqqxhpnj08s61/wish/2593186542 2023-05-16 14:21:42 UTC https://padlet.com/2025ackermang/2bjmqqxhpnj08s61/wish/2593186542 2025ackermang https://padlet.com/2025ackermang/2bjmqqxhpnj08s61/wish/2593187737 2023-05-16 14:22:31 UTC https://padlet.com/2025ackermang/2bjmqqxhpnj08s61/wish/2593187737
