You learned that the informa-tion that DNA transfers to messenger RNA(MRNA) is in the form of a code. When theinformation is decoded, chains of amino acids,called polypeptides, are formed. Polypeptides During translation, each MRNA codon in turnmake up proteins, which direct biochemicalpathways and are responsible for cell structureand movement.The genetic code is determined by thearrangement of the nitrogenous bases in DNAand RNA. A code word in DNA consists of agroup of three nucleotides. When transcribedinto MRNA, each code word, or codon, desig-nates a specific amino acid that is to be placedin the polypeptide chain. More than one codonmay code for a particular amíno acid. TheMANA sequence AUG serves as an initiator,or "start," codon. Three other sequences serveas "stop" codons.In the second part of this section youlearned about the process of translation.matches up with the complementary transferRNA (IRNA) anticodon. As this occurs, theamino acid that is specified by the codon andcarried by the tRNA is added to the polypep-tide chain being formed. Once an amino acidis added to the polypeptide, the tRNAmolecule that carried it is free to pick upanother amino acid. Translation ends whenthe ribosome reaches a stop codon on theMRNAA Describing Functions: Building Vocabulary SkillsIn your own words, define each of the following in terms of its function.1. Codon:2. Anticodon:3. Transfer RNA (IRNA):4. Ribosomal RNA (FRNA):5. Translation:O Prentice-Hall, Inc.711 of 1
