Transcription
Definitely not Transformation, Transduction or Translocation!
What is a Gene?
• 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!!!!

Gene
rRNA
Component of Ribosome
tRNA
Carries amino acids to Ribosome
mRNA
Codes for Polypeptide
snRNA
Helps to splice primary transcripts

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. Cut out different DNA sections called introns.
2. Cut out different RNA sections called exons.
3. Cut out different RNA sections called introns.
4. 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
Splice
osome
Blitzenase
