Base-paring ruleBase-paring rule: : structure and size of structure and size of each of the Nitrogen each of the Nitrogen bases only allows the bases only allows the following pairingfollowing pairing
A pairs with TA pairs with T C pairs with GC pairs with G Bases of one strand of Bases of one strand of
DNA are DNA are complimentary to the complimentary to the otherother

TranscriptionTranscription – transfer of instructions for – transfer of instructions for making a protein from a gene to RNA making a protein from a gene to RNA Done in nucleusDone in nucleus Similar to copying DNASimilar to copying DNA
RNA polymerase RNA polymerase binds binds to a gene’s promoter to a gene’s promoter (AUG sequence)(AUG sequence)

TranslationTranslation – translates RNA base sequence into the Amino acid – translates RNA base sequence into the Amino acid sequence of a proteinsequence of a protein done in Ribosomesdone in Ribosomes begins at the UAG codebegins at the UAG code uses uses mRNAmRNA (messenger) to carry the code from the nucleus to (messenger) to carry the code from the nucleus to
the ribosomethe ribosome usesuses tRNA tRNA (transfer) to pick up the amino acid in the cytoplasm (transfer) to pick up the amino acid in the cytoplasm
and carries it to the ribosomeand carries it to the ribosome uses uses rRNA rRNA (ribosomal) to bind mRNA and tRNA(ribosomal) to bind mRNA and tRNA
