TRANSCRIPTION
Animations of Transcription http: //www. stolaf. edu/people/giannini/flashanimat/molgenetics/transcription. swf (simple and to the point) http: //www-class. unl. edu/biochem/gp 2/m_biology/animation/gene_a 2. html (little more complex) http: //www. dnatube. com/video/5734/Central-dogma-of-transcription (virtual)
How Humans transcribe Open the DNA, read the template strand follow the RNA base pairing rules… DNA Complementary ATG Strand TGG CGA m. RNA AUG UGG CGA DNA Template Strand TAC ACC GCT
EDITTING Once m. RNA is formed it is edited and sent out to the ribosome… The m. RNA transcript has a cap and a tail added. The m. RNA transcript has the region coding for introns removed. DNA is composed of both introns and exons. Exons are segments of DNA that are expressed as genes. Introns are ‘junk DNA. ’ They are not expressed and must be removed before the m. RNA leaves the nucleus.

TRANSLATION
Translation Animations http: //www. stolaf. edu/people/giannini/flashanimat/molgenetics/translation. swf (simple and to the point) http: //www-class. unl. edu/biochem/gp 2/m_biology/animation/gene_a 3. html (little more complex) http: //www. dnatube. com/video/5934/Basic-explanation-of-m. RNA-Translation (virtual)
How humans translate Look up each m. RNA codon on the table to determine the amino acid sequence. m. RNA – AUG CCA GAG UAU UGA Amino acids –

Review Try it for yourself: http: //www. pbs. org/wgbh/aso/tryit/dna/shockwave. html (replication & protein synthesis) Very detailed 10 minute video of protein synthesis www. youtube. com/watch? v=J 3 HVVi 2 k 2 No
BINGO with the genetic code Remember – • This is m. RNA • AUG = start codon
