- 1. DNA and Transcription Tutorial Place your keyboard aside. Only use the mouse. Start from Beginning Transcription Predicting Transcription Review Questions
- 2. Genes and DNA DNA can be divided into segments called genes. It is estimated that human DNA is composed of ~25,000 genes among its 46 total chromosomes. Quick Review. Proteins are made which smaller units called? monosaccharide Amino acid nucleotideFatty acid Monosaccharides make up complex sugars Fatty acids make up lipids Nucleotides make up nucleic acids
- 3. Genes Correct. Amino acids link to create proteins. Genes (small sections of DNA) are blueprints to make proteins for use throughout the body. Genes are found inside the nucleus of cells, but proteins are created outside of the nucleus. Quick review. Which organelle creates proteins? mitochondria lysosome chloroplast ribosome back Lysosomes break down food and pathogens Mitochondria creates ATP energy Chloroplasts creates sugars
- 4. Meet Melissa Yes! Ribosomes make proteins. Melissa is an architect and has designed a new high-rise apartment complex. The construction blueprint holds the information needed to create the high-rise apartment complex. A gene is like the construction blueprints. The gene holds the information needed to make a protein. Quick Review. A gene is a small section of? DNA Proteins RNA Ribosomes back Proteins are created from DNA codes RNA is created from DNA. Stay tuned. Ribosomes make proteins
- 5. Transcription The DNA undergoes a process called transcription. Transcription is the process where the DNA code of a gene is used to make a molecule called messenger RNA (mRNA). Examine the picture. The red letters are DNA nucleotides. The green letters are mRNA being created. Notice how mRNA nucleotides are attaching to the DNA sequence. Quick review: Where is DNA stored?

- 27. The final stage. Remember Melissa? Her blueprint for the apartment complex needs to be copied and then taken to the construction site. In this analogy, Melissa would fax the blueprints over to the construction site. The fax would be the mRNA. The construction site is the ribosome. Now that a copy of the blueprint has arrived, the construction team can begin to build the apartment complex. In a cell, now that the mRNA has arrived, the ribosome has the instructions to begin to make a protein. back
- 28. A U G U C C A The final stage. mRNA makes a copy of the DNA… the mRNA exits the nucleus… the mRNA links up with a ribosome. ribosome Once at the ribosome, the process called translation will begin. Translation is the process where a ribosome builds a protein. The details of translation will be discussed another day. For now, let’s review. back

- 33. Final Review #5 Correct. Now try this one… After exiting the nucleus, where will the finished mRNA travel? ribosomemitochondria nucleolus back Mitochondria makes ATP energy. mRNA is not needed for this. The nucleolus makes ribosomes. mRNA is not needed for this.
- 34. Final Review #6 Correct…now try this last one… Once arriving at the ribosome, which process will begin next? Replication Transcription Translation back Replication is not performed while making a protein. Transcription already happened to make the mRNA that has arrived at the ribosome.
