If you change the

However…

“L O W”
it no longer means…
“A predatory bird”
Since DNA consists of billions of
nitrogenous base pairings, the amount of
variation among organisms is HUGE.
If you change only one letter, the entire
code will be changed, and therefore the
organism will be different!!

What are two ways to differentiate between
replication and transcription?

methionine (Met)
codon for
leucine (Leu)
TRANSLATION
Amino acids are coded by mRNA base sequences.
• Translation converts mRNA messages into polypeptides.
• A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides that codes for
an amino acid.
TRANSLATION
• For translation to begin, tRNA binds to a start codon and signals the
ribosome to assemble.
– A complementary tRNA molecule binds to the exposed codon,
bringing its amino acid close to the first amino acid.
TRANSLATION
– The ribosome helps form a polypeptide bond between the
amino acids.
– The ribosome pulls the mRNA strand the length of one
codon.
TRANSLATION
– The now empty tRNA molecule exits the ribosome.
– A complementary tRNA molecule binds to the next
exposed codon.
– Once the stop codon is reached, the ribosome
releases the protein and disassembles.
