1 13.1 RNA Lesson Objectives Contrast RNA and DNA. Explain the process of transcription. Lesson Summary The Role of RNA RNA (ribonucleic acid) is a nucleic acid like DNA. It consists of a long chain of nucleotides. The RNA base sequence directs the production of proteins. Ultimately, cell proteins result in phenotypic traits. The main differences between RNA and DNA are: The sugar in RNA is ribose instead of deoxyribose. RNA is generally single-stranded and not double-stranded like DNA. RNA contains uracil in place of thymine. RNA can be thought of as a disposable copy of a segment of DNA. Most RNA molecules are involved in protein synthesis. The three main types of RNA are: Messenger RNA (mrna) carries copies of instructions for polypeptide synthesis from the nucleus to ribosomes in the cytoplasm. Ribosomal RNA (rrna) forms an important part of both subunits of the ribosomes, the cell structures where proteins are assembled. Transfer RNA (trna) carries amino acids to the ribosome and matches them to the coded mrna message. RNA Synthesis Most of the work of making RNA takes place during transcription. In transcription, segments of DNA serve as templates to produce complementary RNA molecules. In prokaryotes, RNA synthesis and protein synthesis takes place in the cytoplasm. In eukaryotes, RNA is produced in the cell s nucleus and then moves to the cytoplasm to play a role in the production of protein. The following focuses on transcription in eukaryotic cells. The enzyme RNA polymerase binds to DNA during transcription and separates the DNA strands. It then uses one strand of DNA as a template from which to assemble nucleotides into a complementary strand of RNA. RNA polymerase binds only to promoters, regions of DNA that have specific base sequences. Promoters are signals to the DNA molecule that show RNA polymerase exactly where to begin making RNA. Similar signals cause transcription to stop when a new RNA molecule is completed. RNA may be edited before it is used. Portions that are cut out and discarded are called introns. The remaining pieces, known as exons, are then spliced back together to form the final mrna. 194

4 13.2 Ribosomes and Protein Synthesis Lesson Objectives Identify the genetic code and explain how it is read. Summarize the process of translation. Describe the central dogma of molecular biology. Lesson Summary The Genetic Code A specific sequence of bases in DNA carries the directions for forming a polypeptide, a chain of amino acids. The types and order of amino acids in a polypeptide determine the properties of the protein. The sequence of bases in mrna is the genetic code. The four bases, A, C, G, and U, act as letters. The code is read three letters at a time, so that each word is three bases long and corresponds to a single amino acid. Each three-letter word in mrna is known as a codon. Some codons serve as start and stop signals for protein synthesis. Translation Ribosomes use the sequence of codons in mrna to assemble amino acids into polypeptide chains. The process of decoding of an mrna message into a protein is translation. Messenger RNA is transcribed in the nucleus and then enters the cytoplasm. On the ribosome, translation begins at the start codon. Each codon attracts an anticodon, the complementary sequence of bases on trna. Each trna carries one kind of amino acid. The match between the codon and anticodon ensures that the correct amino acid is added to the growing chain. The amino acids bond together, each in turn. The ribosome moves along the mrna, exposing codons that attract still more trnas with their attached amino acids. The process concludes when a stop code is reached. The newly formed polypeptide and the mrna molecule are released from the ribosome. The Molecular Basis of Heredity Molecular biology seeks to explain living organisms by studying them at the molecular level, using molecules like DNA and RNA. The central dogma of molecular biology is that information is transferred from DNA to RNA to protein. Gene expression is the way in which DNA, RNA, and proteins are involved in putting genetic information into action in living cells. The genetic code is generally the same in all organisms. 197

8 13.3 Mutations Lesson Objectives Define mutations and describe the different types of mutations. Describe the effects mutations can have on genes. Lesson Summary Types of Mutations Mutations are heritable changes in genetic information. There are two categories of mutations: gene mutations and chromosomal mutations. Gene mutations produce changes in a single gene. Point mutations involve only one or a few nucleotides. Substitutions, insertions, and deletions are all types of point mutations. In a substitution, one base is changed to a different base, which may affect only a single amino acid and have no effect at all. In insertions and deletions, one base is inserted or removed from the DNA sequence. Insertions and deletions are called frameshift mutations because they shift the reading frame of the genetic message. Frameshift mutations can change every amino acid that follows the point of mutation and can have dramatic effects on the organism. Chromosomal mutations produce changes in the number or structure of chromosomes. They include deletions, duplications, inversions, and translocations. Deletion involves the loss of all or part of a chromosome. Duplication produces an extra copy of all or part of a chromosome. Inversion reverses the direction of parts of a chromosome. Translocation occurs when part of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to another. Effects of Mutations Genetic material can be altered by natural events or by artificial means. Errors can be made during replication. Environmental conditions may increase the rate of mutation. Mutagens are chemical or physical agents in the environment that cause mutations. The effects of mutations on genes vary widely: Some mutations have little or no effect. Some mutations produce beneficial variations. One example is polyploidy in plants, in which an organism has extra sets of chromosomes. Polyploid plants are often larger and stronger than diploid plants. Mutations can also produce proteins with new or altered functions that can be useful to organisms in different or changing environments. Some mutations negatively disrupt gene function or dramatically change protein structure. Genetic disorders such as sickle cell disease can result. 201

A substitution mutation in that gene causes the amino acid valine to be incorporated into hemoglobin in a place where glutamic acid would normally lie. The result is sickle cell disease. Explain how a change in a single base in DNA can bring about such a serious disorder. 204

12 13.4 Gene Regulation and Expression Lesson Objectives Describe gene regulation in prokaryotes. Explain how most eukaryotic genes are regulated. Relate gene regulation to development in multicellular organisms. Lesson Summary Prokaryotic Gene Regulation Prokaryotes do not need to transcribe all of their genes at the same time. They can conserve energy and resources by regulating their activities, producing only those genes necessary for the cell to function. In prokaryotes, DNA-binding proteins regulate genes by controlling transcription. An operon is a group of genes that are regulated together. An example is the lac operon in the bacterium E. coli: This group of three genes must be turned on together before the bacterium can use lactose as food. When lactose is not present, the DNA-binding protein called lac repressor binds to a region called the operator, which switches the lac operon off. When lactose binds to the repressor, it causes the repressor to fall off the operator, turning the operon on. Eukaryotic Gene Regulation Transcription factors are DNA-binding proteins. They control the expression of genes in eukaryotes by binding DNA sequences in the regulatory regions. Gene promoters have multiple binding sites for transcription factors, each of which can influence transcription. Complex gene regulation in eukaryotes makes cell specialization possible. The process by which microrna (mirna) molecules stop mrna molecules from passing on their protein-making instructions is RNA interference (RNAi). RNAi technology holds the promise of allowing scientists to turn off the expression of genes from viruses and cancer cells, and it may provide new ways to treat and perhaps even cure diseases. Genetic Control of Development Regulating gene expression is especially important in shaping the way a multicellular organism develops. Gene regulation helps cells undergo differentiation, becoming specialized in structure and function. Master control genes are like switches that trigger particular patterns of development and differentiation in cells and tissues. Homeotic genes are master control genes that regulate organs that develop in specific parts of the body. Homeobox genes share a similar 130-base DNA sequence called homeobox. They code for transcription factors that activate other genes that are important in cell development and differentiation in certain regions of the body. Hox genes are a group of homeobox genes that tell the cells of the body how to differentiate as the body grows. Environmental factors can also affect gene expression. 205

18 CHAPTER MYSTERY MOUSE-EYED FLY In the Chapter Mystery, you learned about a fly that was genetically manipulated to grow eyes in different places on its body. Scientists continue to develop techniques to modify a variety of other animals. But should they? 21st Century Learning Should Genetic Experiments Be Performed on Animals? Some people think that the type of research that produced the mouse-eyed fly is perfectly acceptable. Others think that it s a terrible thing to do even to a fly. In the biological sciences, animal testing has always been controversial, and it probably always will be. Perspectives on Animal Genetic Testing Animal rights groups have come a long way in recent years. More people are responding to the issues brought up by animal rights groups. For example, animal testing of cosmetics has been banned in a number of countries, and in the United States many companies have voluntarily stopped testing on animals. So what s the next frontier for animal rights activists? According to Edward Avellone of Animal Rights Now!, it s genetic testing. What purpose is there in creating a mouse with six legs or a sheep with one eye in the middle of its forehead? asks Avellone. Scientists are just playing around with a new technology. They re creating horribly deformed animals for no real reason. Some people disagree with this point of view. Says Ann Wilber of Scientists for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, We re responsible professionals, not monsters. Wilber explains that the one-eyed sheep was the unintended result of an attempt to understand how the eye developed and how it works. We ve also developed a sheep whose milk contains a protein that might cure emphysema. There are reasons for what we do. But to Avellone, the point is not simply the motivation behind the experimentation. It s also the process of the experiment. Only 10 percent of the animals they breed have the gene they want to study. The remaining 90 percent [of the animals] are simply killed. Wilber admits that this situation is sad, but true. Still, she says, We re working every day to improve our techniques and therefore our success rate. Even if the success rate never tops 10 percent, she asks, Isn t that a small price to pay for a cure for cancer, or multiple sclerosis, or Parkinson s disease? Continued on next page 211

19 21st Century Themes Science and Civic Literacy 1. Edward Avellone makes several arguments against animal testing in genetics experiments. Why does he think the process of animal genetic experimentation is flawed? 2. Avellone argues that genetic experiments are unnecessary. What claim does he make about scientists motivations for doing such experiments? 3. What is Ann Wilber s main argument in favor of genetic testing on animals? 4. Which of her arguments could be summed up as, It s a necessary evil? 5. Do you agree with Avellone, with Wilber, or with neither of them? Why? 21st Century Skills Evaluating an Issue The skills used in this activity include creativity and intellectual curiosity, communication skills, interpersonal and collaborative skills, information and media literacy, and social responsibility. The issue of experimenting on animals, especially genetic experimentation, is complex; you can t construct an informed opinion after reading just one article. Working with a group, use library and Internet resources to collect opinions on both sides of the issue. Work through the material thoroughly and then make up your mind about how you feel about the issue. If everyone in the group agrees, create a multimedia presentation for your class in which you present your point of view. If the members of your group disagree, stage a debate in front of the class, with the same number of students arguing each side of the issue. 212
