  • What is the central dogma of molecular biology as stated in the material?

    DNA is transcribed to mRNA, which is then translated into protein activity.

  • List the learning objectives related to DNA and protein synthesis.
    • Apply the process of Central Dogma (DNA → RNA → Protein)
    • Transcribe DNA into mRNA
    • Translate mRNA into protein
    • Identify enzymes, structures, and locations
  • What is the coding strand sequence given in the material?

    5'-ATGCCTACTGAATTC-3'

  • What is the template strand sequence given in the material?

    3'-TACCGGATGACTTAAG-5'

  • What is the first step in transcription according to the material?

    Identify the template strand of DNA used during transcription.

  • What is the rule for writing the mRNA sequence from the DNA template strand?
    • RNA uses U instead of T
    • Build 5' to 3'
    • mRNA is complementary to the template strand
  • What question is asked about the enzyme responsible for transcription?

    Where does transcription occur and what enzyme is responsible?

  • What is the directionality rule for building mRNA during transcription?

    mRNA is synthesized in the 5' to 3' direction.
