I. RNA
A. Structure of RNA (Ribose Nucleic Acid) – A genetic molecule similar to DNA, with three major differences:
1. RNA is made with Uracil (U), not Thymine (T) 2. RNA is single-stranded, like half of a ladder. 3. Ribose is the sugar making up the backbone of the molecule, not deoxyribose (thus RNA, not DNA).

I. RNA
B. Types of RNA rRNA – ribosomal; makes up ribosomes. mRNA – messenger; copied from DNA, takes ‘message’ to ribosomes. tRNA – transfer; transfers amino acids to ribosomes.

II. Transcription (DNA to mRNA)
A. Steps of Transcription: 1.Initiated at promoter region of DNA (a specific
base sequence). Occurs after DNA unzips.
2. RNA Polymerase joins free nucleotide together that compliment the DNA code.
3. The single-stranded mRNA molecule moves away from the DNA and is modified.

II. Transcription
B. Modification of Transcript 1. Stretches of the mRNA molecule will be removed, known as introns (they remain IN the nucleus). 2. Remaining segments are exons (these EXIT the nucleus). 3. The various exon segments may be rearranged by splicesomes

III. Translation (RNA to AA)A. Steps of Translation 1. The mRNA transcript will move out to the ribosome, which will assemble the amino acids. 2. Three consecutitive nucleotides on the mRNA transcript make one command, called a codon. 3. Each codon will match with a corresponding tRNA, which has three nucleotides, which are called anticodons.

IV. Mutations
A. Space holder DNA: About 97% of your DNA is noncoding, but it is hardly useless. If a mutation (error in replication or transcription) occurs, it usually occurs in this noncoding region (thus, there is no effect on phenotype.

IV. Mutations
B. Types of Mutation 1. Substitution: One nucleotide incorrectly replaced with another. (One for One Switch)

2. Wobble Effect: If you total up the number of nucleotides (A, U, C, G) and the possible arrangements of 3 letter combinations, you get a total of 64. Yet these 64 codes translate into only 20 amino acids. So small errors often don’t alter the protein/amino acid chain.
Consider the codons "AUC" and "AUA."

IV. MutationsB. Frameshift Mutation If reading by threes, the addition or deletion of a nucleotide will throw off all subsequent codons.
