Document Summary

The nature of the gene and its expression. Genes in dna flows to mrna through transcription, then is translated to become a protein. Transcription: the production of an rna molecule. There could be post-translational modifications: sometimes necessary that it occurs. Gene: a gene is a transcribed region of dna. Every gene encodes one of several types of rna trna: small rnas that move the rna around. Rna uses the pyrimidine uracil instead of thymine: uracil is only in rna (with rare exceptions, cytosine is in both rna and dna, thymine is only in dna (with rare exceptions) The rna pentose sugar is ribose, not a deoxyribose: in rna: ribose, in dna: 2-deoxyribose. General features of rna synthesis from a dna template: Has a template strand and a non-template strand: the non-template strand is then the coding strand. Rna like dna is synthesized in a 5" to 3" direction.
