Document Summary
Regardless of the cell you will have dna, Dna is a series of genes, between the genes there are intergenic regions, regions of dna that do not code for protein but is important. In eukaryotes the genome is organized into chromosomes and now with sequences we have been able to sequence higher genomes, we know where each gene is located now easy. Slide 33 before transcribing a gene to mrna, dna must first be replicated false. Slide 34/35 video; what you were seeing was snaking along dna at pretty much an accurate pace, the big blue blob was rna polymerase 2. The rna strand produced is elongated in the 5" to 3" direction. The rna polymerase ii reads the 3"- 5" dna strand (the template strand) The mrna obtained is 5" to 3". We start from dna transcribe it to rna and then translate it to protein.
