Chapter 4
Protein Synthesis -
Transcription
,Lesson Learning Outcomes
• Identify the nucleotide structure of
DNA and RNA.
• Differentiate the RNA structure:
mRNA
tRNA
rRNA
• Define central dogma.
• Differentiate codon and anticodon.
• State and describe the process
involved in the transcription and
translation.

, Protein Synthesis
From Gene to Protein
• The information content of DNA is in the form
of specific sequences of nucleotides.
• Proteins are the links between genotype and
phenotype.
• Gene expression, the process by which DNA
directs protein synthesis, includes two stages:
transcription and translation.
