Question

Directions: Answer the questions below. In order to earn full points students must have original descriptions, labels, and drawings/sketches of their own ideas. Images copied/pasted from our models, online, or searches will not count.

1) Draw/sketch and describe what the structure of DNA is [5pts]


2) Draw/sketch and describe how DNA Replicates. Make sure to label important players involved [5pts]


3) Describe Transcription [3pts]

4) Where does transcription take place in the cell? [2pts]

Answer 1

First: draw the 2 pictures that I attached in your notebook


4) Transcription is the first step in gene expression. It involves copying a gene's DNA sequence to make an RNA molecule. Transcription is performed by enzymes called RNA polymerases, which link nucleotides to form an RNA strand (using a DNA strand as a template).
