8. Open the DNA, read the template strand and follow the RNA base pairing rules…
How Humans transcribe
DNA Complementary Strand
ATG TGG CGA
mRNA
AUG UGG CGA
DNA Template Strand
TAC ACC GCT

9. EDITTING
Once mRNA is formed it is edited and sent out to the ribosome…
The mRNA transcript has a cap and a tail added.
The mRNA transcript has the region coding for introns removed.
DNA is composed of both introns and exons.
Exons are segments of DNA that are expressed as genes.
Introns are ‘junk DNA.’ They are not expressed and must be removed before the mRNA leaves the nucleus.

16. Review
Try it for yourself: (replication & protein synthesis)
Very detailed 10 minute video of protein synthesis

17. BINGO with the genetic code
Remember –
This is mRNA
AUG = start codon
