Presentation transcript:

Evolution connection: Transcription and translation Learning goals: Students will understand that 1) RNA was likely the first genetic material of life, and 2) the many different functions that RNA is capable of performing in the cell today constitute evidence that life was once based on RNA. For the instructor: This short slide set relates the role of RNA in the processes of transcription and translation to RNA’s evolutionary history and the remnants of the RNA world. To integrate it best, use these slides immediately after you’ve discussed transcription and translation. This slide set could be shortened, if you wish, by cutting slides 3, 4, 7 and 8. Each of the following slides comes with a sample script for the instructor. To review this script, download the PowerPoint file and view the Notes associated with each slide.

Evolution connection: Transcription and translation What makes RNA so powerful? Ribozyme structure comes from Scott, W.G., Finch, J.T., Klug, A. (1995) The crystal structure of an all-RNA hammerhead ribozyme: a proposed mechanism for RNA catalytic cleavage. Cell 81: It can fold up Some of its bases can catalyze chemical reactions It is highly specific (i.e., complementary) tRNA hammerhead ribozyme RNA base pairing

Evolution connection: Transcription and translation RNA Carries genetic information Catalyzes chemical reactions Binds to other molecules Self-replicates Can go it alone! DNA Carries genetic information Needs help!
