Slide 1 - Slide

Learning Goals Lesson 3 
p. 53/54
  • You can name the different types of RNA 
  • You know the molecular differences between DNA and RNA
  • You can describe the process of transcription
  • You know why transcription takes place
  • You know where transcription takes place

Slide 3 - Video

  • Key words Lesson 3 - transcription
  • RNA
  • Ribose
  • RNA-polymerase
  • Uracil
  • transcription
  • mRNA
  • rRNA
  • tRNA
template strand
matrix strand
coding strand

Slide 4 - Slide

RNA - RiboNucleicAcid - Ribonucleïnezuur
RNA is build from  4 different building blocks (nucleotides); A,C,U,G

Every nucleotide is made of
3 parts:
1. phosphate
2. ribose (sugar)
3. nucleic acid 

AND... RNA is single stranded
3 types of RNA: rRNA, mRNA and tRNA
Engels                                  Nederlands

Slide 5 - Slide

nucleotide DNA vs nucleotide RNA
1. phosphate
2. ribose (suiker)
3. nucleic acid U instead of T
1. phosphate
2. desoxyribose (sugar)
3. nucleic acid T

Amino acids
20 different kinds, glutamine, proline, leucine, etc.
      mRNA

Slide 7 - Slide

Transcription
DNA is strictly rolled up on histons so RNA can not 
transcribe the DNA
DNA has loosened up so transcription of the gene can take place

Slide 8 - Slide

Template or matrix DNA is copied to  mRNA

Slide 9 - Slide

Slide 10 - Slide

1. The template or matrix strand of DNA is transcripted by RNA polymerase to one strand of pre mRNA. 
2. Introns are cut out and exons are pasted together* (' RNA processing'). 3. The mRNA is transported out of the nucleus towards the ribosomes.
