Storyboard Text

  • "Hey Dad, I am excited to go see how the plants are doing at the house!"
  • Me too son I can't wait to see so many beautiful flowers.!
  • Well, flowers use something called Gene expression to make them the color they are.
  • "Oh look dad, they are starting to bloom, but I'm confused, how do flowers turn to those colors such as pink and red.
  • Gene Expression is when information stored in our DNA is converted into instructions for making proteins or other molecules. The two main parts of Gene Expression are Transcription and Translation.
  • What is Gene Expression?
  • To start off the process, the enzyme, RNA polymerase, splits the DNA into two different strands and uses one strand as a template to produce RNA molecules.
  • What is Transcription?
  • Transcription is when DNA in a gene is copied to produce an RNA transcript called mRNA. There are two main steps in Transcription.
  • .
  • Then, specific introns are removed from the strand, and a methyl cap and poly-A-tail are added to the strand converting it to mRNA
  • INITIATIONIn Initiation, tRNA brings the amino acid to bind to the start codon on mRNA.
  • What is Translation?
  • Translation is the decoding of an mRNA message by the ribosomes into a protein. It happens in Cytoplasm.There are three main steps in Translation.
  • .
  • E:LONGATIONIn Elongation, tRNA brings amino acid one by one to add to the Polypeptide chain
  • Son, so now you know gene expression is the way in which DNA, RNA and proteins are involved in expressing all the traits and functions of living cells. A Gene that codes to produce pigment can control the color of a flower.
  • Wow thanks Dad! I know what Gene Expression is and how it expresses all traits
  • Messenger RNA (mRNA) - carry copies of instructions for protein syntheses from nucleus to RIbosomes
  • Transfer RNA (tRNA) - caries amino acids to ribosomes and matches them to sided MRNA message.
  • TERMINATIONIn Termination, the stop code is reached and the polypeptide and mRNA are released from the Ribome
