Sam's Blog!

Today in class we went over our homework. Also here is a reminder!- TEST THURSDAY! Study Study Study!!!!
Protin does everything! Ex. If you wear contacts you have to put them in solution to get more protin.

• DNA Replication- When a cell reproduces, some parts can simply divide.
  


• The longest stage in the cell cycle is interphase.
  


• A DNA molecule is made up of nucleic acid building blocks called Nitrogen Bases.
  


• During replication, the DNA molecule "unzips". The base pairs separate.
  


• Protein Synthesis Recall that proteins play an important role in cells and in multicellular organisms.
  


• Protein Synthesis is another important process that takes place throughout interphase.


• At the ribosome, mRNA pairs up with molecules of transfer RNA.


• Each piece of tRNAbhas three bases and carries a spacific amono acid.


• Proteins are made in a cell's ribosomes. Protein synthesis involves several stages. First, the genetic information from the nucleus has to be carried to the ribosomes. This is done by a molecule called messenger RNA ( mRNA).
• Replication
• RNA uses uracil
• RNA does not use thymine but DNA does
• RNA has different backbone then DNA
• DNA ( DXY ribose)
• RNA is only a copy
• DNA is actual instructions
• RNA is transcription and DNA is replication
• SIngle is RNA (sugar strand)
• Double sugar strand is DNA
