Learning Objective: Genetic material is in the form of DNA and that contains the instruction codes for building proteins
Thymine changes to Uracil
1) mRNA (messenger RNA) creates the message using codons (3 linked amino acids) together like AUG or GAG - mRNA moves out of the nucleus with the instructions for building a protein and into the cytoplasm followed by the ribosome
2) tRNA translates the message into a codon and a 3 nucleotide sequence that is read by RNA which is necessary to create a protein
3) rRNA molecule that moves the message along to create a chain (like a conveyer belt) to create a protein
Smallest protein is a insulin which is 51 amino acids long.
