Journal Entry:
What are the two major process that convert a gene into a protein? Where does each takes place? What happens in each step?
Learning Intentions
We will learn how transcription occurs in the nucleus when the enzyme RNA-polymerase reads the DNA molecule in the 3' to 5' direction and synthesizes complementary mRNA molecules that determine the order of amino acids in the polypeptide
Closing Task:
You can diagram the process of transcription that is the first step of protein synthesis.
