From the Stage 2 SACE Biology course outline, this video discusses:
- Protein synthesis involves transcription of a gene into messenger RNA (mRNA), and translation of mRNA into an amino acid sequence at the ribosomes. In eukaryotic cells, transcription occurs in the nucleus.
• Recognise that DNA strands are directional are read 5’ to 3’
• Describe and illustrate the role of DNA, mRNA, transfer RNA (tRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA) in transcription and translation.
• Describe the relationship between codons, anticodons, and amino acids.
• Distinguish between coding (gene) and template strands of DNA.
