SECTION REVIEW
In this section you studied the process of pro-
tein synthesis. You learned that the informa-
tion that DNA transfers to messenger RNA
(MRNA) is in the form of a code. When the
information is decoded, chains of amino acids,
called polypeptides, are formed. Polypeptides During translation, each MRNA codon in turn
make up proteins, which direct biochemical
pathways and are responsible for cell structure
and movement.
The genetic code is determined by the
arrangement of the nitrogenous bases in DNA
and RNA. A code word in DNA consists of a
group of three nucleotides. When transcribed
into MRNA, each code word, or codon, desig-
nates a specific amino acid that is to be placed
in the polypeptide chain. More than one codon
may code for a particular amíno acid. The
MANA sequence AUG serves as an initiator,
or "start," codon. Three other sequences serve
as "stop" codons.
In the second part of this section you
learned about the process of translation.
matches up with the complementary transfer
RNA (IRNA) anticodon. As this occurs, the
amino acid that is specified by the codon and
carried by the tRNA is added to the polypep-
tide chain being formed. Once an amino acid
is added to the polypeptide, the tRNA
molecule that carried it is free to pick up
another amino acid. Translation ends when
the ribosome reaches a stop codon on the
MRNA
