Today we finished chapter 8. We focused on DNA replication and the differences on how the leading and the lagging strands are synthesized in the process.
We also started chapter 9, on transcription and translation.
We covered the transcription process at a basic level, touching on its three stages (initiation, elongation, termination) and the role of different DNA sequences (promoter, gene [narrowly defined], terminator) in the process. Then we discussed mRNA processing (5'-capping, polyadenylation)
Tomorrow: For our heritability lab please know your height. Also find out about your siblings, parents, and grandparents' heights. All heights must be provided in inches.
