Study Notes

Replication and Transcription

• Nucleic acid is copied to form another nucleic acid during replication and transcription
• These processes are easy to understand based on complementarity

Translation

• Genetic information is transferred from a nucleotide polymer to synthesise an amino acid polymer
• There is no complementarity between nucleotides and amino acids, nor can any be theoretically drawn
• Changes in nucleic acids (genetic material) are responsible for changes in amino acids in proteins
• There is evidence supporting the notion that changes in genetic material affect proteins

Genetic Code

• A genetic code is proposed to direct the sequence of amino acids during protein synthesis
