Unit 7 Review: Gene to Protein - DUE Tuesday 2/4 at 11 pm

Learning Targets:
I can:
1. Compare and Contrast DNA and RNA in terms of their organic molecule classification, monomers, polymer structure, nitrogen bases and sugars.
2. Differentiate between the three types of RNA (mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA) in terms of their structure and function in the central dogma.
3. Describe the specific structure of ribosomes in terms of the A, P, and E sites, and their functions.
4. Describe transcription in terms of the enzymes involved, starting materials, ending product, and location of the process.
5. Describe the steps of mRNA processing in terms of the starting materials, the changes that occur including removal of introns, and addition of cap and tail.
6. Describe translation in terms of the starting materials, the role of RNA, the location of the process, and the ending product.
7. Describe in detail the process of translation in term of movement of mRNA through the ribosomes different site, and the interaction of tRNA with the mRNA and ribosomes.
8. Transcribe and translate a given piece of DNA in terms of correct base pairing, recognizing start and stop codons, and using an amino acid table to determine the resulting polypeptide sequence.
9. Describe the relationship between DNA, genes, and chromosomes.
10. Define mutations in terms of their effect on DNA and the consequences for the organism.
11. Differentiate between mutation types including insertions, deletions, and substitutions in terms of the change to the DNA and the consequences for the organism.
