Document Summary

Transcription: creation of rna copy of a dna segment. Transcription of dna rna: rna contains uracil instead of thymine: same structure except thymine contains one extra methyl. Dna double helix unwinds and forms transcription bubble. Bacterial elongation: release of protein (sigma factor) from the rna polymerase starts elongation. Eukaryotic elongation: release of transcription factors from the rna polymerase starts elongation, uses rna polymerase ii mrna. Rna polymerase: stops at specific dna sequence using complex mechanisms, proteins such at the mo protein assist in rna release. Eukaryotic termination: rna polymerase ii: elongation proceeds past end of coding region to create pre-mrna tall, rna polymerase i: require specific nucleotides sequence as termination signal, rna polymerase iii: require mrna hairpins in mo- dependent termination. Occur in cytoplasm of prokaryotes simultaneously: no spatial or temporal segregation, transcription not separated from the rest of the cell translation can occur, transcription and mrna processing occur before translation (dna pre-mrna .

Discussion

Hi All - this week you will learn about DNA - the molecule of life! You may think that protein-coding genes are the most important, but results from the Human Genome Project revealed that only about 2% of our DNA codes for protein - so what about the rest of the "junk DNA" (or non-protein coding portion of the genome) - is it functionally important? Yes! Scientists are learning how "the non-protein-coding portion of the genome is of crucial functional importance: for normal development and physiology and for disease". I would like you to please choose a topic with regards to the non-protein coding portion of the genome (this will introduce you to gene regulation which we will cover in chapter 11) or you may also choose to write about a topic that describes a mutation in any protein that is involved in DNA replication, transcription, or translation (we did not talk about all of the enzymes involved in those processes). Please list your reputable source - this is worth 0.5 pt (even if you use one of my sources below) and tell me WHY you chose your topic (this is worth 1 pt.) please try to briefly explain your topic to the best of your knowledge - I don't expect you to write a lot of detail about your topic - it might be hard to understand (which you are welcome to comment on in your paragraph)!

Examples to choose from (but not limited to) include: noncoding RNAs (snRNAs, miRNAs, siRNAs, snoRNAs, piRNAs, lincRNAs) and RNA therapeutics:

The mutation that causes this disorder is in a gene that functions:

a.	to repair DNA by excising (removing) nucleotides damaged by UV light.

b.	in lysosomes, to break down lipids that otherwise accumulate in the nervous system.

c.	to produce the UV blocking pigment melanin in the skin cells

d.	in red blood cells to carry oxygen to the skin.

The Amish have a much higher than average incidence of both polydactyly (extra fingers and toes) and dwarfism in their communities. This is most likely explained by:

a.	inheritance of acquired characters.

b.	the founder effect.

c.	disruptive selection.

d.	natural selection.

16. In the structure of DNA that Watson and Crick proposed, the sides of the "ladder" of the DNA molecule are always the same distance apart, making the molecule a constant width. This occurs because when the bases hydrogen bond to form the rungs of the "ladder", a:

a.	purine always pairs with a pyrimidine.

b.	purine always pairs with a purine.

c.	pyrimidine always pairs with a pyrmidine.
