Hello my wonderful students!!! Listen closely...are you listening??? This is your science teacher Ms. Yates. I know, I know. I just saw you a few hours ago. Remember the awesome reminders, updates, and fantasticness that I promised you?? It is here. Yep!! Right here. Remember to check it out daily. The rewards will be worth your time. Assignments that you forgot about or were absent for? Here!! Notes you may have missed?? Here too!!! Announcements?? Yep!! And, fantastic reminders of all the cool stuff we did today...All here and more!! See you tomorrow. Or Monday, if you are so awesome that you are reading this over the weekend.

Transcription and Translation

What is the role of RNA polymerase in transcription?  What is the product of translation?

    I had a fun time in science class. The RNA polymerace goes into the DNA and connects the base pares. It is amino acids. I do feel strong about the quiz.

  2. I had a fun time in class and I learned that during transcription RNA polymerase creates mRNA that is used during translation. With the help of tRNA it creates amino acids.

  3. The RNA polymerase is used to break the hydrogen bonds and fill in the missing based pairs. Amino acids are produced outside of the nucleas.

    The role of RNA Polymerase in Transcription is to break the hydrogen bonds between the 2 DNA strands and copy/check mRNA so it can travel out of the nucleus. The product of translation is amino acid. I thought this "test" was AWESOME and it helped me understand more about transcription and translation.

  5. RNA Polymerase unzips the DNA. The sense strand is used to create a mRNA which is a messenger. The information given (Us instead of Ts) are read by the ribosomes and then created into a tRNA. The tRNA is then used to create the amino acid peptide. The amino acid peptide is the end product of translation.

  6. The polymerase is used to break down the hydrogen bonds and also replicate and check so the MRNA can go into the cytoplasm.

  7. I think that it is cool that there are two polymerases

  8. The RNA polymerase breaks the hydrogen bonds in the DNA so that the mRNA can come with base pairs. In translation the mRNA leaves the nucleus through the nucleus pore and pairs with tRNA. Then based on the base pairs in the mRNA, you look at the codon wheel and you will get the amino acids used in the polypetide chain. For example, if the 1st 3 base pairs in the mRNA are GCA then the amino acid for it on the polypetide chain would be alanine or ALA. The product of translation is the polypetide chain.
