By the end of this chapter, students will be able to:
- Define gene expression and explain its role in protein synthesis.
- Describe the main stages of gene expression: transcription and translation.
- Explain the process of transcription and the role of RNA polymerase.
- Identify the template and coding DNA strands and determine the corresponding mRNA sequence.
- Describe the main steps of transcription: initiation, elongation, and termination.
- Explain mRNA processing in eukaryotic cells, including 5′ capping, polyadenylation, and splicing.
- Explain the process of translation and the roles of mRNA, tRNA, and ribosomes.
- Use the genetic code to determine the amino acid sequence of a protein.
- Apply their knowledge to solve problems and interpret molecular biology exercises.
