Chapter 9

2. The beauty of DNA
Remember: DNA is a macromolecule that stores information
what IS that information?

3. What is a gene?
alleles ex

4. Not all DNA codes for protein

5. How does our DNA determine the way we look?
(genotype)
(phenotype)

6. DNA directed protein synthesis
Transcription
Translation

7. Transcription – the “details”
Initiation
Elongation
Termination
Capping & editing

8. Transcription of a gene

9. DNA directed protein synthesis
Transcription
making RNA from DNA
takes place in the nucleus
Translation
making protein from RNA
takes place in the cytoplasm on ribosomes

10. Translation – the basics

11. Translation – the “details”
Initiation
Elongation
Termination

12. Transcription & translation of codons
