week of 1 December - transcription and translation

Hey there,
  Welcome back!  I hope you had a restful break.  This week, we are talking about transcription, translation, mutations, and gene regulation.  You are getting two different practice sheets for transcription and translation and then will also be getting a project on transcription and translation.
   I highly suggest reading ahead on translation for Wednesday and also reviewing the links listed below.  Please come to AFT if you need help!  Thanks, Ms. L

DUE DATES:
• unit 5 reading questions - Weds 11 Dec.
• transcription/translation project - Thursday 11 Dec.
• unit 5 test - Monday 15 Dec.
• "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" reading & discussion questions done by Weds 17 Dec.  -- discussion will be in class that day in lieu of a quiz

LINKS:

Basic Transcription video

Simple Transcription diagram

Alternative mRNA Splicing diagram

Alternative Splicing video -- pretty basic -- seems to segue into 2nd video with woman narrating...I suggest skipping her as it gets very technical

Basic Translation video

Real-time animation of both Transcription and Translation

Another video of both processes
