Get out your cookie cartoon. Cookie making analogies The Cookbook is like: DNA The Cookie Recipe is like: gene A Gene holds the instructions for making a specific protein. There are 1000’s of genes in our DNA The Cookie is like: protein Instructions for making proteins are found in genes. Bobby’s house is like: the nucleus The Transcribed Recipe is like: RNA RNA is a molecule very similar to DNA. Outside of Bobby’s house is like: cytoplasm of the cell Stacey the Cookie Maker is like: the ribosome and tRNA Ribosomes and tRNA are molecules that help build proteins– using instructions from mRNA. 1. The cookbook has a lot of recipes. 2. There is a recipe for making cookies. 3. The cookbook with the recipes cannot leave the house. 4. The recipe gets transcribed into a written out recipe. 5. The written out recipe leaves the house. 6. Stacey follows the instructions on the written out recipe. 7. Cookies are made. 1. The cookbook has a lot of recipes. genes DNA 2. There is a recipe for making cookies. gene proteins 3. The cookbook with the recipes cannot leave the house. gene DNA nucleus 4. The recipe gets transcribed into a written out recipe. “copied” gene mRNA 5. The written out recipe leaves the house. mRNA nucleus 6. Stacey follows the instructions on the written out recipe. Ribosomes & tRNA 7. Cookies are made. Proteins mRNA 1. How is DNA like a cookbook? DNA has the instructions for making everything in the cell. DNA is a very important molecule. 2. Why are genes like recipes? Inside of our DNA are genes. Genes are small segments of DNA that hold the information needed to make a specific protein. 3. What happens when proteins need to be made? When a certain protein is needed in the cell, the gene with those instructions is needed. Proteins are made outside the nucleus, but the information for making proteins is found in the nucleus. DNA cannot leave the nucleus. 4. How does the information needed to make proteins get out of the nucleus? The needed gene is transcribed (copied) into a molecule called mRNA. DNA vs RNA DNA RNA Double strand Single strand Deoxyribose Ribose A T G C A U C G Can NOT leave nucleus CAN leave the nucleus 5. What happens once the mRNA is made? mRNA is a molecule very similar to DNA. mRNA can leave the nucleus. 6. How do the instructions in RNA get made into a protein? Molecules called tRNA and ribosomes follow the instructions found in mRNA and help create the needed proteins. 7. The final product The protein is now made and can be used by the cell. Post-Note Questions 1. Explain why transcribing (copying) DNA into RNA is an essential step for making proteins? Post-Note Questions 2. In step 4, genes (small segments of DNA) get transcribed into RNA. Why is only the gene transcribed and not all of the DNA? Making Proteins vs. Making Cookies Cookie Cartoon Summary Statements in between. Protein Cartoon DNA Transcription and Translation Practice DNA Strand: ACT ACG ATC GAC TAT What is the Complementary RNA strand? UGA UGC UAG CUG AUA What Does RNA Do? Reads and transfers information from DNA to parts of the cell responsible for Building Proteins Is a temporary, reusable copy of the Genetic Code of certain Genes Types of RNA • Messenger RNA mRNA • After being formed, the mRNA leaves the Nucleus and travels to the Ribosome • Transfer RNA tRNA • Transfers Amino Acids (Makes up the new Protein) to the Ribosome as the Protein is being produced A Few New Words Codon: A set of 3 Nucleotides Anticodon: 3 tRNA Nucleotides which complement a Codon Amino Acid: Building block of a Protein What is the mRNA Code Sequence? Transcription Video 4:50-5:35 Translation Video: Sketch 7:45-10:50 Final Products Amino Acid Chains (Proteins) are built to perform specific functions in the cell In the cell, Proteins have numerous jobs: Control the rate of reactions Regulate cell processes Form bones and muscles Transport substances into or out of cells Help to fight disease
