Intro to Gene expression

Monday March 17th

We started into our next chapter on gene expression today with the following daily questions:

 
You then watched the following intro videos
The first one we watched before when learning about the structure of DNA.  As before.. I would change the words from "makes proteins" to "Codes for proteins"  This chapter will be focusing on the transcription/translation portions.

The next was a crash course.  While we will be going through transcription and translation we will NOT get into protein folding or RNA splicing in the detail that he goes into.

Finally, the rest of the period you read through the section in the book and got down some new terms to help you get familiar with them before we dive head first into this!!!
