1
The Central Dogma of Molecular Biology
REPLICATION
2
Development of multicellular organisms
All body cells are descended from a single fertilized egg cell by DNA replication and mitosis
3
Totipotency Totipotency has now been demonstrated in adult mammals with the cloning of Dolly the sheep
4
Patterns of gene expression
35,000 human genes, but only 20,000 are expressed in any one cell type Patterns of gene expression are most frequently regulated at the level of transcription
5
Gene structure coding sequence promoter terminator
6
What is required for transcription?
ATP, GTP, CTP, UTP RNA polymerase DNA template
7
The mechanics of transcription
Template-dependent Antiparallel Complementary
8
Regulation of transcription: the lac operon
Lactose Glucose + Galactose
9
Inhibitors of transcription
a-amanitin (Amanita virosa) How long will it take to die?
