Protein synthesis is a two
part process of
transcription and
translation. Transcription
is when mRNA copies
DNA with complementary
bases forming a single
strand which travels out
of the nucleus into the
cytoplasm where it joins
with a ribosome.
At the ribosome tRNA
brings a clover-like
structure to the ribosome
which matches the
mRNA’s codon. Attached

was to keep the bases
(letters) in correct order
as you decoded DNA to
amino acids.
• Now consider how
many bonds keep/hold
DNA strands in order
(backbone/uprights).
• Remember there are
thousands of base
pairs in a DNA
sequence
Mutations
121. Slide
121Mutations
• Errors in the DNA sequence.
• A permanent change in the DNA of an
organism.
• Usually not visible or have an effect on
the organism.
• May be detrimental, neutral
or beneficial.
• Sometimes result dramatic changes.
• Errors which occur in "junk" (does not
code and is considered nonsense) DNA
122. Slide
122Mutations
• Three ways DNA can be altered when
a mutation (change in DNA sequence)
occurs.
• Five possible results
• Today’s worksheet will show you how
these occur.
123. Slide
1233 ways altered
1. Point Mutation or Substitution — mutation causing
replacement of a single base nucleotide with another
nucleotide of the genetic material, DNA or RNA. In other
words, one base-pair is replace by another.
A.If a substitution changes the amino acid, it’s called
a MISSENSE mutation.
B.If a substitution does not change the amino acid, it’s
called a SILENT mutation.
C.If a substitution changes the amino acid to a “stop,” it’s
called a NONSENSE mutation.
D.G - C or A - G CGTC
2. Insertion — one or more base pairs is added to a
sequence.
A.DNA: CGA TGG → CGA ATG G
B.mRNA: GCT ACC GCT TAC C
3.Deletion — one or more base pairs is lost from a sequence
A.DNA: CGA TGG → CAT GG
124. Slide
1245 Results
1.Silent mutations — When a base pair is substituted but
the change still codes for the same amino acid in the
sequence.
• TCT and TCC both code for the same amino acid,
Serine
2.Substitution — When a base is substituted and the new
codon codes for a different amino acid.
• TCT codes for Serine and CCT codes for Proline
3.Premature Stop — When a substitution results in the
formation of a STOP codon before all of the codons have
been read and translated by the ribosome.
A.DNA: GTG GTC CGA AAC ACC → GTG GTC TGA
AAC ACC
B.mRNA: GUG GUC CGA AAC ACC → GUG GUC UGA
AAC ACC
C.Val-Val-Pro-Asn-Thr → Val-Val-STOP
125. Slide
1255 Results
4.Codon Deletion or Insertion — When a whole new amino
acid is added or one is missing from the mutant protein.
• DNA: GTG GTC CGA AAC ACC → GTG GTC TGC CGA AAC
ACC
• mRNA: GUG GUC CGA AAC ACC → GUG GUC UGC CGA
AAC ACC
• Val-Val-Pro-Ans-Thr → Val-Val-Cys-Pro-Asn-Thr
5.Frame Shift — When a deletion or insertion results in a
different base pair being the beginning of the next codon,
shifting it over, changing the whole sequence of amino acids.
Meaning the reading “frame” changes, changing the amino
acid sequence.
• DNA: GTG GTC CGA AAC ACC → GTG GTC GAA ACA CC
• mRNA: GUG GUC CGA AAC ACC → GUG GUC CUU UGU

3.How does DNA duplicate itself?
(use science terms)
Through the process of
replication DNA a double helix
is unwound and each strand
acts as a template for the next
strand. Free floating DNA
nucleotides match with
complementary bases in the
now unzipped strands creating
two double helixes from one.
Replication is the process of
producing two identical
replicas from one
original DNA molecule.
