DNA and Transcription Tutorial Start from Beginning Transcription Predicting Transcription Review Questions Place your keyboard aside. Only use the mouse. Genes and DNA Monosaccharides make up complex sugars Fatty acids make up lipids DNA can be divided into segments called genes. It is estimated that human DNA is composed of ~25,000 genes among its 46 total chromosomes. Quick Review. Proteins are made which smaller units called? monosaccharide Amino acid Fatty acid nucleotide Nucleotides make up nucleic acids back Genes Correct. Amino acids link to create proteins. Genes (small sections of DNA) are blueprints to make proteins for use throughout the body. Genes are found inside the nucleus of cells, Chloroplasts but proteins are created creates sugars outside of the nucleus. Quick review. Which organelle creates proteins? Mitochondria creates ATP energy Lysosomes break down food and pathogens mitochondria chloroplast lysosome ribosome back Meet Melissa Yes! Ribosomes make proteins. Melissa is an architect and has designed a new high-rise apartment complex. The construction blueprint holds the information needed to create the highrise apartment complex. A gene is like the construction blueprints. The gene holds the information needed to make a protein. Quick Review. A gene is a small section of? DNA Proteins Proteins are created from DNA codes RNA RNA is created from DNA. Stay tuned. Ribosomes Ribosomes make proteins back Transcription Correct! Let’s move on though… The DNA undergoes a process called transcription. Transcription is the process where the DNA code of a gene is used to make a molecule called messenger RNA (mRNA). Examine the picture. The red letters are DNA nucleotides. The green letters are mRNA being created. Notice how mRNA nucleotides are attaching to the DNA sequence. Quick review: Where is DNA stored? Vacuole Vacuole stores water and waste Nucleus Cytoplasm Cytoplasm contains many organelles, but not the DNA Vesicle Vesicles usually transport proteins back Transcription (continued) Yes, the nucleus stores DNA. Remember that transcription will make mRNA. Here’s how. An enzyme called RNA Polymerase breaks apart the bonds that holds the 2 strands of DNA nucleotides together.

Before performing transcription, remember the table below.

Her blueprint for the apartment complex needs to be copied and then taken to the construction site. In this analogy, Melissa would fax the blueprints over to the construction site. The fax would be the mRNA. The construction site is the ribosome. Now that a copy of the blueprint has arrived, the construction team can begin to build the apartment complex. In a cell, now that the mRNA has arrived, the ribosome has the instructions to begin to make a protein. back A The final stage. U G U C C A ribosome mRNA is a complementary copy of the DNA… the mRNA exits the nucleus… the mRNA links up with a ribosome. Once at the ribosome, the process called translation will begin. Translation is the process where a ribosome builds a protein. The details of translation will be discussed another day. For now, let’s review. back Final Review #1 What will eventually be created by the DNA code of a gene? ribosome Ribosomes will be used to make proteins protein nucleolus The nucleolus makes ribosomes back Final Review #2 Correct! Now try this one… RNA polymerase separates DNA at the start of which process? transcription translation We will discuss translation another day replication DNA helicase separates DNA during replication back Final Review #3 Correct. Now try this one… RNA polymerase is a type of which organic molecule? Which chemicals end with ASE? Nucleic Acid Which chemicals end with ASE? Carbohydrate Which chemicals end with ASE? Lipid Proteins/enzyme back Final Review #4 Correct! Now try this one… Remember: DNA “A” with RNA “U” DNA “T” with RNA “A” DNA “C” with RNA “G” DNA “G” with RNA “C” Try Again Which shows the process of transcription done properly? Key Black = DNA Red = mRNA back Final Review #5 Correct. Now try this one… After exiting the nucleus, where will the finished mRNA travel? Mitochondria makes ATP energy. mRNA is not needed for this. mitochondria The nucleolus makes ribosomes. mRNA is not needed for this. ribosome nucleolus back Final Review #6 Correct…now try this last one… Once arriving at the ribosome, which process will begin next? Replication is not performed while making a protein. Replication Transcription already happened to make the mRNA that has arrived at the ribosome.
