The production of different proteins determines the traits of an organism. A trait is an inherited characteristic. Genes that exist in alternate forms are called alleles. The gene that determines earlobe shape exists in two alleles—one results in an attached earlobe and the other a free earlobe.

DNA DNA Shape and Composition

Double-stranded DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) has a twisted ladder-like shape called a double helix. Each DNA strand is composed of a series of nucleotides. A nucleotide contains a sugar, phosphate, and nitrogen base— adenine (A), guanine(G), cytosine(C), or thymine(T).

Overview: From DNA to Protein Protein Formation

Proteins in cells act as messengers and help to determine the traits of an organism such as the different shapes, sizes, colors and other features found in living organisms. To make a protein, a gene’s DNA sequence is transcribed to a strand of RNA. Then the RNA is translated into a chain of amino acids by a ribosome, and a protein is formed.

DNA Transcription: DNA to RNA DNA Information

The information from DNA (chromosomes) in the nucleus must be transported into the cytoplasm where protein synthesis takes place.

Process of Transcription

chromosome

During the process of transcription a DNA gene sequence is copied to a single RNA (ribonucleic acid) strand called a messenger RNA, or mRNA.

DNA unwinds

Transcription starts when doublestranded DNA unwinds and exposes a sequence of nitrogen bases.

Translation: from RNA to Protein What Is Translation?

The process of converting the coded information on the messenger RNA to a protein is called translation.

nucleus

The mRNA travels through a nuclear pore to the cytoplasm and attaches to a ribosome.

cytoplasm

The ribosome moves along the mRNA strand, translating the code. Three sequential mRNA bases form a triplet code for a particular amino acid. Each triplet is called a codon.

The Genetic Code What Is the Genetic Code?

The correspondence between the RNA triplets or codons and specific amino acids that are used to form a particular protein is called the genetic code. For example, the triplet code UUC on a messenger RNA always pairs with the transfer RNA (AAG) that carries the amino acid phenylalanine.

U U C

Genetic Code Table

The Genetic Code table is shown below. To find the codon UUC start with the left column (1), then go across the top (2), and then down the right column (3). UUC corresponds to the amino acid phenylalanine. The genetic code is the same in nearly all organisms.

A mutation is a change that occurs in a gene or chromosome that can cause incorrect or different proteins to be made and alter an organism’s normal trait.

Harmful and Helpful Mutations

Mutations are harmful if they decrease an organism’s ability to survive or reproduce. Other mutations can be helpful. Mutations are often inherited and introduce changes in a species.

Make and defend a claim based on evidence that inheritable genetic variations may result from: (1) new genetic combinations through meiosis, (2) viable errors occurring during replication, and/or (3) mutations caused by environmental factors.

All cells contain genetic information in the form of DNA molecules. Genes are regions in the DNA that contain the instructions that code for the formation of proteins. (secondary to HS-LS3-1) (Note: This Disciplinary Core Idea is also addressed by HS-LS1-1.)

ELEMENT

LS3.A:

Inheritance of Traits

INDICATOR

LS3.A:1.

Each chromosome consists of a single very long DNA molecule, and each gene on the chromosome is a particular segment of that DNA. The instructions for forming species’ characteristics are carried in DNA. All cells in an organism have the same genetic content, but the genes used (expressed) by the cell may be regulated in different ways. Not all DNA codes for a protein; some segments of DNA are involved in regulatory or structural functions, and some have no as-yet known function. (HS-LS31)

LS3.B:

Variation of Traits

INDICATOR

LS3.B:1.

In sexual reproduction, chromosomes can sometimes swap sections during the process of meiosis (cell division), thereby creating new genetic combinations and thus more genetic variation. Although DNA replication is tightly regulated and remarkably accurate, errors do occur and result in mutations, which are also a source of genetic variation. Environmental factors can also cause mutations in genes, and viable mutations are inherited. (HS-LS3-2)

INDICATOR

LS3.B:2.

Environmental factors also affect expression of traits, and hence affect the probability of occurrences of traits in a population. Thus the variation and distribution of traits observed depends on both genetic and environmental factors. (HS-LS3-2), (HS-LS3-3)
