Genetic code - Coggle Diagram
Genetic code
DNA
It contains all the genes that code for the proteins
mRNA
It is a copy of the DNA that is used for the ribosome to read
tRNA
It brings in the correct amino acid for the ribosome.
ribosome
It reads the mRNA and tells the tRNA what amino acids to bring
codon
Three bases that tell which the ribosome which amino acid it needs
anti-codon
It is the reverse of the codon which the tRNA has to connect which the mRNA.
RNA polymerase
It takes apart the DNA and builds that bases in the mRNA.
Deletion mutation
A codon is deleted from the gene causing it to end short and make a different protein.
Substitution mutation
A codon in the gene is changed into a different codon causing a different protein to be made.
Insertion mutation
A codon is added to the gene causing it to add an extra amino acid which makes the protein different.
