Essential Idea: The information stored as a code in DNA is copied onto mRNA
Essential Idea: The information stored as a code in DNA is copied onto mRNA
Understandings:
- Transcription occurs in the 5' to 3' direction
- Nucleosomes help to regulate transcription in eukaryotes
- Eukaryotic cells modify mRNA transcription
- Splicing of mRNA increases the number of different proteins an organism can produce
- Gene expression is regulated by proteins that bind to specific base sequences in DNA
- The environment of a cell and of an organism has an impact on gene expression
Applications:
- The promoter as an example of non-coding DNA with a function
Skills:
- Skill: Analysis of changes in the DNA methylation patterns
Nature of science:
Looking for patterns, trends and discrepancies - There is mounting evidence that the environment can trigger heritable changes in epigenetic factors
