2.7b - Transcription and translation

DCS Topic Code	Statement	Guidance
2.7.U4	Transcription is the synthesis of mRNA copied from the DNA base sequences by RNA polymerase.
2.7.U5	Translation is the synthesis of polypeptides on ribosomes.
2.7.U6	The amino acid sequence of polypeptides is determined by mRNA according to the genetic code.
2.7.U7	Codons of three bases on mRNA correspond to one amino acid in a polypeptide.
2.7.U8	Translation depends on complementary base pairing between codons on mRNA and anticodons on tRNA.
2.7.A2	Production of human insulin in bacteria as an example of the universality of the genetic code allowing gene transfer between species.
2.7.S1	Use a table of the genetic code to deduce which codon(s) corresponds to which amino acid.
2.7.S3	Use a table of mRNA codons and their corresponding amino acids to deduce the sequence of amino acids coded by a short mRNA strand of known base sequence.
2.7.S4	Deducing the DNA base sequence for the mRNA strand.
