PROTEIN SYNTHESIS - AQA A LEVEL BIOLOGY + EXAM QUESTION RUN THROUGH

In this video, I explain EVERYTHING that you need to know for the "DNA + protein synthesis" chapter for AQA A Level Biology. The content crosses over with other exam boards too.
This includes: the concept of genomes and proteomes, mRNA and tRNA structure + the process of protein synthesis (transcription, splicing and translation). Time stamps are in the comments sect
ion.
I also go through a couple of exam style questions and their mark schemes.
Please comment below if you have any questions! :)

    I’m so glad I found this video. I struggle with Biology so much. I’ve been watching videos on protein synthesis & I was still so confused, Then I found this & you explain it so well in a way that I find easier to understand. Thank you!

    I have a query, please help me in understanding it. During translation, mRNA attaches to the start codon of ribosome OR Ribosome attaches to the start codon of mRNA? Which one of these has start codon, mRNA or ribosome?

  • @AlevelBiologyHelp

    @AlevelBiologyHelp

    Hi, it's the ribosome which has tRNA with a complementary anticodon that attaches to the start codon of the mRNA :)

  • @isaacmiller8579

    In the slide, the second part of transcription is described as "free mRNA nucleotides align and pair with their complementary bases" but in the mark scheme for the exam question it is described as "RNA nucleotides attracted to exposed bases; (attraction) according to base pairing rule." I memorised what was on the slide but when I wrote it down for the exam question I dont think I would have got the mark because I didn't say anything about the nucleotides being attracted. Is what I wrote still okay opr should I try to learn the mark scheme instead?

    Hi, I thought that RNA polymerase unwinds the DNA strand in transcription, as well as joining adjacent nucleotides together. Have I learnt this wrong?

    do we not need to know about the enzymes involved within translation? Those that make the peptide bond and those that break the bond between the tRNA and amino acid?

    In the very first exam question, it asks how mRNA is produced in the Nucleus. I thought you would right about Splicing as that makes mature mRNA from Pre-mRNA. However, you said you need to write about transcription, but why when in transcription Pre-mRNA is produced not mRNA????

  • @AlevelBiologyHelp

    You can write about splicing but it's mainly writing about transcription given that it's a 6 mark question (splicing doesn't have many steps so you can't get many marks on that). If you look at the mark scheme, you can write any 6 of the points there. :)
