BIOL 200 Chapter Notes - Chapter 4: Rna-Seq, Genetic Code, Transfer Rna
Document Summary
Topic 1 nuclear function - rna transcription: compare and contrast eukaryotic and prokaryotic transcription and translation, including tem image interpretation. Interpret an electron micrograph of eukaryotic transcription unit. Explain with diagrams how different transcription units can be transcribed in different directions relative to the chromosome: discuss the importance and specificity of macromolecular interactions involved in transcription regulation by interpreting experimental evidence in eukaryotes. Topic 3 - genetic code and translation: review the features of the genetic code and explain how they are related to the mechanisms of transcription and translation. Genes on parts of chromo containing all info req to prod. Primary fxn of dna: keeper of genetic info. Info must be faithfully passed to next gen and kept in cell, so dna must: Replication of info: must be able to form new dna molecs to pass code on-wont be. Info storage: rna and protein primary structure info stored in seq of bases in dna,
