Now look at that, we came just in time to see something quite amazing happen, DNA transcription!
I remember that! Isn't it part of the Central Dogma of Biology?
Right now the RNA polymerase in front of you is making mRNA, a single stranded copy of the DNA sequence
The key differences between RNA and DNA is that the former is single stranded, uses uracil instead of thymine, and has uses ribose instead of deoxyribose
The mRNA is leaving now, we should hitch a ride with it before its gone
This journey will also help remind you how the mRNA functions
Leaving Nucleus
Mitosis? What's that?
Mitosis is the process by which the cell divides and creates daughter cells. There are 4 stages, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase
Timmy...did you learn nothing in class?
*chromosome noises*
After this, each chromosome will go either side of the cell, following which cytokinesis will split the cell in half, making two new daughter cells
It seems we arrived just in time to see metaphase, the point during mitosis when all of the chromosomes are lined up in the center of the nucleus
I feel like I'm starting to understand, if we keep going like this I'm sure I'll ace my biology exam tomorrow!
Well...I am sorry Tim, but our time together ends here.
Wait. What? No! It can't be true, you've become like a father to me! And now your leaving me just like he did!
You have some serious father issues Timmy. Try going to therapy. Now, goodbye
