Transcription The Central Dogma
The Central Dogma Information flows from DNA → RNA → Proteins Transcription The Central Dogma Information flows from DNA → RNA → Proteins
Replication: Copies DNA
Replication: Copies DNA Transcription: Creates RNA
Replication: Copies DNA Transcription: Creates RNA Translation: Makes Proteins
RNA
RNA is different from DNA
RNA is different from DNA Ribose sugar (not deoxyribose)
RNA RNA is different from DNA Ribose sugar (not deoxyribose) Contains uracil (in place of thymine)
RNA RNA is different from DNA Ribose sugar (not deoxyribose) Contains uracil (in place of thymine) Single-stranded (not double)
Transcription makes RNA from DNA
Transcription makes RNA from DNA Steps:
Transcription makes RNA from DNA Steps: RNA Polymerase “unzips” DNA at the gene site
Transcription makes RNA from DNA Steps: RNA Polymerase “unzips” DNA at the gene site Nucleotides pair with one side of the DNA
Transcription makes RNA from DNA Steps: RNA Polymerase “unzips” DNA at the gene site Nucleotides pair with one side of the DNA RNA strand detaches, and can leave the nucleus
