Document Summary

Understand, describe and demonstrate the steps involved in transcribing dna to mrna. Be familiar with the elements comprised in a transcription initiation complex and its role. Compare and contrast rna transcription in prokaryotes vs eukaryotes. Know, describe and/or compare the different elements of control for gene expression in prokaryotes vs eukaryotes. Activators, repressors (enhancers, silencers), alternative splicing, operons.

Dna can replicate itself; transcription = dna to rna (rrna to ribosomes) Dna is directly transcribed to mrna in prokaryotes; it can occur anytime: only prokaryotes depend on rho protein to terminate rna transcription.
