Transcription Assignment Grading Sheet

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IWCFxC8QcYWiUKFAnFT185VJONrdRQyAtm4ZexRehAI/edit?usp=sharing The assignment is to create a visual representation of Transcription. You can choose to continue using the stop motion animation format or you can choose another format of your choosing. Your visual representation needs to include all of the steps of Transcription and include all of the major "characters" but how you represent them is totally up to you. Feel free to think outside the box!

Transcription Slides

  https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1RL3YwRC7isiAWu489lcfM_LDU1FTlftFYiPmD2wY9u4/edit?usp=sharing In this class we went through the process of Transcription, which is the process of turning a gene (a portion of DNA that encodes for a protein) into an mRNA molecule. What you need to know: What is a gene? What are the three parts of a gene and what is their role in Protein Synthesis? Need to know that the difference between the template strand and the coding strand. Need to know what happens during the three stages of Transcription: 1) Initiation 2) Elongation 3) Termination

What's going to be on the test on Tuesday?

Enzyme Analogies and 3'/5'

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Fvvs9HXXjbm-mPF4L3jK8avoVb6csNsmQOKcU-TJX4c/edit?usp=sharing Here are the analogies that help me remember who's who and what's what and how's how in DNA Replication. It also contains the slide with the explanation of 3' and 5'.

DNA Replication Slides

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1DnXXNqLi84Ee8duAXnOJU2r4jVqRZunY34BbYbrfbj0/edit?usp=sharing In this class we went through the step by step process of DNA Replication. What you need to know: 1. What an enzyme is and what their general purpose is. 2. What semi-conservative replication means. 3. Need to be able to describe the process of DNA replication including the enzymes and their functions. 4. Need to be able to identify the leading strand and the lagging strand and know how replication differs for each of these strands and why .

RNA Structure and Function (General) Slides

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Kqm90Hb-K1-XOarsNCfInJMOLmm9S1jV9PEeDp6RhlU/edit?usp=sharing In this lesson we explored the structure of RNA and some of the functions of RNA. We also broke down all of the ways that that RNA is different from DNA. What you need to know: 1. You need tp be able to describe the structure of RNA 2. You need to know all three types of RNA 3. You need to know how RNA is different from DNA

Introduction to DNA and RNA Slides

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1IyWlK3s640A3YKDDwVZoUqE69nrB9OoPbE0vP8VFSIA/edit?usp=sharing In this set of slides we look at what DNA is, what DNA is made of and the function of DNA. We also explore the structural and functional aspects of RNA and then compare and contrast DNA and RNA. What you should know after reviewing these slides : 1. You should be able to describe the structure of DNA and know the components that make up DNA. 2. You should be able to define what a NUCLEOTIDE is and know the components that make up a nucleotide. 3. You should know the difference between PURINES and PYRIMIDINES and know which NITROGEN BASES are purines and which are Pyrimidines. 4. You should know which bases pair together and be able to write out a complimentary strand of DNA from a given template strand. 5. You should know the FUNCTION of DNA (what does it do?). 6. You should be able to define RNA and know how it differs from DNA.
