Neuron Nudge 2/5 • Identify each sequence below as belonging to DNA, RNA, or a protein. • TATTACGAGGCGAT • CCCGAAUCGAUUG • PTGACMFVLIDKRR • Which of the sequences above contains letters that are abbreviations for: • Amino acids? • Ribonucleotides? • Deoxyribonucleotides?
Predict • Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis, but they’re located outside of the nucleus. • What are the pros and cons of DNA traveling out of the nucleus to the ribosome? • What are the pros and cons of using a messenger molecule instead?

Transcription: Overview • Big idea: DNA mRNA
Transcription and the Gene • Only one gene at a time
Transcription: Steps • Three steps • Initiation • Elongation • Termination
Transcription: Steps • Initiation • RNA polymerase binds to promoter region and unzips DNA
Transcription: Steps • Elongation • RNA polymerase reads the 3’-5’ DNA strand and creates a single-stranded mRNA in the 5’-3’ direction
Transcription: Steps • Termination • RNA polymerase reaches terminator region, at which time it releases the completed mRNAand the DNA (which reforms the double helix)
