The purpose of transcription is to transcribe the information off of the DNA strand into messenger RNA for translation. There are three stages that take place in transcription; initiation, elongation, and termination. The first stage is initiation, which starts the whole process.

The people of Thebes expect the Messenger to bring forth good news which may even relieve Thebes of the curse. On the contrary, the Messenger helps to expose the dreadful truth of Oedipus’ life.

DNA replication process It is the process which DNA make copy of itself during cell division. 1. In DNA replication is unzip double helix structure of DNA molecule. 2. This replication is carried out by enzyme called helicase which break the hydrogen bonds holding the complementary bases of DNA together {A with T, C with G}. 3. Separations of two single strands of DNA create Y shape called replication fork. Two separated strands will act as templates for making the new strand of DNA. 4. One

DNA has a massive job of keeping you alive. In essence, a microscopic strand of genes support your entire body and life.

At the beginning Pat Mitchel states “the media is the message and the messenger” (Miss Representation, 8:10), this is a very clear message in itself. It’s not to be taken in a condescending manner but rather to affirm her point. With the negativity being portrayed, it has begun to drip into our value system.

1a. Review: Describe three main differences between RNA and DNA. The three main differences between RNA and DNA are as follows: RNA has the sugar ribose instead of deoxyribose, which DNA has, RNA is single-stranded while DNA is double-stranded, and RNA uses uracil instead of thymine. 1b. Explain: List the three types of RNA, and explain what they do. The three types of RNA are mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA. mRNA carries the instructions to create proteins from DNA in the nucleus to ribosomes. rRNA forms a

What are genes? A gene is a piece of DNA that codes for RNA molecules. What is genetic engineering? Genetic engineering is the process where humans alternate the genome of organisms using biotechnological processes. It allows scientists to transfer genes from one organism to the next. FIGURE 1.1: A scientist manipulating an organisms DNA Genetics have been an impact on agriculture for thousands of years by the means of artificial selection. Farmers control the way their plants reproduce so that each
