Transcription synthesis of RNA from DNA
Transcription results in mRNA
RNA polymerase makes mRNA
mRNA makes proteins
RNA polymerase binds to DNA
A regulatory protein that binds to DNA and affects
Transcription factors (TFs) transcription of specific genes. Can wither activate or
repress expression of genes
Termination of RNA polymerase reaches a terminator sequence
transcription (Stop codon) and detaches from the template
Process by which mRNA is decoded and a protein is
Translation
produced. Protein assembly
Translation takes place in cytoplasm

appropriate codons in the mRNA
Codons allow for DNA and RNA to communicate
Gene Regulation the process of turning genes on and off
Gene Regulation occurs during transcription
Transcription factors (TFs) amount of protein product made

Nucleotide DNA subunit; 1 DNA, 1 phosphate, 1 nitrogenous base
permanent change in a DNA /RNA sequence that
Mutation
affects genetic information
germline mutation happens in germ cells, inheritable, in all cells
A mutation that occurs in the body cells from
somatic mutation spontaneous development. Cannot be inherited.
Acquired
• Incorrect copying of the DNA sequence/
Environmental
causes of mutations
