Transcription and Translation

Who, When, Where, Why, and How are Proteins Made? 

There are two ways to answer these questions .

• • • Transcription and Translation: in the video below, we will go over the ingredients and mechanics of the process. 
    • Genes, Chromosomes, Inheritance and Gene Expression: in my PowerPoint video, I will go over why some cells make one group of proteins and other cells make different proteins. 

Transcription and Translation 

Transcription is the process by which DNA is used as a template or instructions for making RNA. Translation is the process by which RNA is used to make the specific protein that the DNA coded for.  

This video does a nice job of explaining these two processes. I have embedded comments and questions to help guide you to the important points. Keep in mind the questions you are trying to answer from this week's Study Guide. 

3. What is the relationship between DNA, RNA and proteins?

Optional: nice animation showing the whole process. (Links to an external site.)
