First we wrapped up our discussion on Transcription. The daily questions focused on a review of transcription and then an introduction of Translation.
Thursday April 12th
How does the cell know what DNA to transcribe? (What is
located there)
There is a Promotor Region on the DNA that signals that a gene is about to start.
When the end of the gene is transcribed what happens to the
mRNA that has been created?
It will now leave an head out to the cytoplasm (and eventually to a ribosome)
What then happens to the DNA that coded for this?
The DNA just gets zipped back up left unchanged. Sometimes this will be "read" again if the cell needs more of the protein that gene codes for.
What PROCESS will the mRNA
now go through?
Translation
We then got through SOME of the notes on Translation. This is a MUCH more complicated process then transcription so we will be spending longer on this!
