DNA and Protein Synthesis
DNA and Protein Synthesis
- Describe the stages of DNA synthesis using key terms: template, semi-conservative, and DNA polymerase.
- Describe the stages of Protein synthesis using key terms: translation, transcription, mRNA, tRNA, ribosome, and RNA polymerase.
- Draw a flow diagram of the stages for both types of synthesis to avoid confusion.
- Base sequence of nucleic acids relates to the amino acid sequence of polypeptides.
- No need to memorise specific triplet codes for particular amino acids.
- Interpretation of data from experiments investigating the role of nucleic acids is necessary.
