Eukaroytic cell: Nucleus
Chromosomal DNA, Mostly linear, compactly arranged, introns and exons
Eurokaryotic cell: Mitochondria
MtDNA, circular, smaller than nuclear DNA, less/no introns, has exons
Eukaryotic cell: Chloroplast
chDNA, circular, smaller than nuclear DNA, less/no introns, has exons
What are introns?
non-coding DNA
What are exons
Coding regions of DNA coding for amino acids to make proteins
What are the two steps to direct protein synthesis
transcription and translation
What is transcription?
the infomation contained in the DNA of a gene is copied into mRNA
What is translation?
the mRNA nucleotide sequence is decoded and its information is converted to the
sequence of amino acids in a protein
Where does translation occur in Eukaryotic cells?
It occurs in the cytoplasm at the ribosomes
