Description
Episode 20 dives into all things transcription and translation with the Central Dogma! Don’t forget that you are what your proteins produce. The mRNA transcript is named after the Latin word for writing (1:50). RNA Polymerase will synthesize mRNA in the 5’-3’ direction, just like DNA polymerase. Do you know Chargaff’s rules? (3:22). The mRNA transcript will need to go through modification as it exits the nuclear pore (3:40). Translation involves mRNA, rRNA and tRNA to form the polypeptide (4:50). Almost all organisms use the same genetic code which supports common ancestry (6:00).The Question of the Day asks (6:48) “Which enzyme copies the viral RNA genome into DNA for the assembly of new viral progeny?”Thank you for listening to The APsolute RecAP: Biology Edition!(AP is a registered trademark of the College Board and is not affiliated with The APsolute RecAP.
