Transcription Definitely not Transformation, Transduction or Translocation!
What is a Gene? NOPE ! • One Gene – One Enzyme • One Gene – One Polypeptide • One Gene – One RNA transcript • A GENE IS A SEGMENT OF DNA THAT CODES FOR - - - - - - - - AN RNA TRANSCRIPT!!!! NOPE ! YES !
Which of the following will get translated? rRNA tRNA mRNA snRNA • A only • B only • C only • D only • A & B • B & C • C & D • A, B, & C • A, B, C, & D
Which of the following are directly involved with translation? • A only • B only • C only • D only • A & B • B & C • C & D • A, B, & C • A, B, C, & D rRNA tRNA mRNA snRNA
What best represents rRNA? • Red • Blue • Green • Brown
What best represents tRNA? • Red • Blue • Green • Brown
What best represents snRNA? • Red • Blue • Green • Brown
Hey Check out this basic transcription animation! • http://www-class.unl.edu/biochem/gp2/m_biology/animation/gene/gene_a2.htm l
What did the idiot scribe represent? • RNA primase • RNA polymerase • DNA polymerase • Reverse transctriptase • Helicase
What is/are the substrate (s) for RNA polymerase? • ATP, GTP, UTP, CTP • ATP only • dATP, dGTP, dCTP, dTTP • ATP, GTP, CTP, TTP • Amino acids
How many RNA polymerases are there? • THREE • RNA Polymerase I • Transcribes nucleolar genes into rRNA • RNA Polymerase II • Transcribes genes into mRNA (which eventually turns into a polypeptide) • RNA Polymerase III • Transcribes genes into tRNA and snRNA
How does an RNA Polymerase “FIND” a gene to transcribe? • TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS FIND A TATA BOX ON THE PROMOTER REGION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What did Sir Spliceolot accomplish? • Cut out different DNA sections called introns. • Cut out different RNA sections called exons. • Cut out different RNA sections called introns. • Cut out different DNA sections called exons.
Why are introns called introns? They are INTERVENING noncoding sequences found within a gene!
Why are exons called exons? They are coding sections of a gene that get EXPRESSED as a component of a protein!
What really splices out the introns? • Cutterase • Dicerase • Spliceosome • Blitzenase • Rudolphase
What really is a SPLICEOSOME? small protein BIG PROTEIN snRNA snRNP SPLICEOSOME
