  1. DNA and Transcription Tutorial Start from Beginning Transcription Predicting Transcription Review Questions Place your keyboard aside. Only use the mouse.

  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 from smaller units called _____. Correct Monosaccharides make up complex sugars monosaccharides Amino acids Fatty acids make up lipids Fatty acids nucleotides Nucleotides make up nucleic acids

  3. back Genes 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 creates ATP energy Chloroplasts creates sugars mitochondria chloroplast Lysosomes break down food and pathogens lysosome ribosome Correct

Proteins are created from DNA codes DNA Proteins RNA Ribosomes Correct Ribosomes make proteins RNA is created from DNA. Stay tuned.

  8. back 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? Correct Vacuole Nucleus Cytoplasm Vesicle Vacuole stores water and waste Cytoplasm contains many organelles, but not the DNA Vesicles usually transport proteins

  18. back Transcription Rules Now that the DNA has been separated, free-floating mRNA nucleotides bond to the now open DNA nucleotides. Before performing transcription, remember the table below.

  30. back 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.

  31. back The final stage. mRNA makes a copy of the DNA… the mRNA exits the nucleus… the mRNA links up with a ribosome. A U G U C C A 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.

Key Black = DNA Red = mRNA Correct

  36. back Final Review #5 After exiting the nucleus, where will the finished mRNA travel? Mitochondria makes ATP energy. mRNA is not needed for this. The nucleolus makes ribosomes. mRNA is not needed for this. mitochondria ribosome nucleolus Correct

  37. back Final Review #6 Once arriving at the ribosome, which process will begin next? Transcription already happened to make the mRNA that has arrived at the ribosome. Replication is not performed while making a protein. Correct Replication Transcription Translation

  38. back Final Review #7 Click on the RNA letter that is not matched properly to the DNA letters. Black = DNA Red = mRNA No. U joins with A. No. G joins with C. No. G joins with C. No. C joins with G. No. U joins with A. No. G joins with C. Correct No. C joins with G. No. G joins with C. No. A joins with T. No. A joins with T.
