Components of a Eukaryotic Gene
What are the ‘parts’ or regions of a gene?
How are they organized?
Do genes always encode RNAs?
Do genes always encode RNAs that encode proteins?
Questions
How does RNA polymerase work and what does it make?
How does it know where to start and stop?
How does a ribosome work and what does it make?
How does it know where to start and stop?
If the DNA in every cell in your body is the
same why don't your adipose (fat)
cells secrete epinephrine?
If the DNA contains all of the information why doesn't
the ribosome just 'read' it?
Why have intermediate steps?
