Genes are portions of the DNA that provide information to make proteins.

Genes are portions of the DNA that provide information to make proteins.

Please read chapter 3 carefully.  There is a lot of detailed information.  For this assignment, fill in the blanks in the following description of events:

Genes are portions of the DNA that provide information to make proteins. Proteins are long strings of (a)___________________________.

The production of proteins is a multi-step process. The first step is transcription. The portion of the DNA (the gene) provides information to first make a different macromolecule called (b)________________________.

This macromolecule then moves then moves into the cytoplasm. where translation, or protein synthesis, takes place. There, it attracts transfer RNA, which reads by codons. A codon consists of three

(c)_____________ . Each transfer RNA consists of a codon with an

(d)____________________ attached. By this process a protein is produced.

Regarding the four bases in DNA, the double-stranded DNA molecule is held together by complementary bases. In the DNA molecule,

(A.)  guanine binds with ____________

(B).  and adenine binds with ____________ in DNA; in RNA, adenine binds with (C) _____________ instead.

(D.)  Therefore, if the codon on the DNA strand is CAG, then the mRNA codon that will

bind to it will be ____________(Use the letters…tell me the bases in order).

Which cellular division process results in four daughter cells?

Which cellular division process results in two diploid daughter cells?

Which of these processes is more important when we examine heredity?  (What moves on to the next generation?…hint hint!!)
