PART 1
At the end of this Activity you will be presenting the steps of the processes in the Central Dogma as a narrative or summary. A narrative describes steps connected together like in a story. The narrative/summary should include details about initiation, elongation, and termination for each process. Watch one of the two following videos: From DNA to Protein 3D and From DNA to ProtienOr explore the interactive in U2 A6 content to learn more about transcription and translation. Be sure to include the following in your narrative/summary:
- location in the cell or organelle where these processes occur,
- the main enzymes and substrates for each process,
- details about initiation, elongation, and termination of each process.
PART 2
As you explore the role of the P-site and A-site in one of the two: interactive in content of video: Translation, be sure to add good details to your summary of:
- The Processes in the Central Dogma.
- Identify where the polymerization reaction occurs.
- Identify in which direction the ribosome moves along the mRNA.
- How does translation terminate?
PART 3
Explore the interactive in content or watch this video: Replication Methods Add the following:
- Information about replication
- What happens at each step
PART 4
Watch the following Video: DNA REPLICATION Add the following to your narrative/summary:
- Why the two strands of DNA are synthesized differently
PART 5
As you watch this video, look over your summary of Processes of the Central Dogma to clarify the details you have collected. Make sure to add any missing information.
Does your summary include these details and concepts?
- The location in the cell or organelle where these processes occur,
- When each process occurs compared to one another as part of a sequence of steps,
- The main enzymes and substrates for each process,
- Details about initiation, elongation, and termination of each process.
