Thanks for making this!

Thanks! ;)
-
good explained
-
thank you!
-
This helped so much more than my professors did over the past semester in gen bio And biochem. Thank for posting this:)
-
omg thank you!!
-
Even though I am in advanced molecular biology now, I tend to always forget the basics! Great review!!
-
very good, better than that goon in the pink shirt and yellow tie. Cheers

Superb

does the suger or the phosphate connect to the a t and c g

@PureDomination48 I have a video on DNA nomenclature that should help clrify that question.

Very well explained. I just have 2 questions. 1) How does the RNA polymerase know where to start and stop transcribing and 2) If there are 2 start codons before the next stop in the mRNA does that mean you get overlapping protein sites?

In eukaryotic cells, transcription is normally thought to originate at a TATA box. Basically a sequence that the polymerase or proteins that attract the polymerase can bind to. I believe there is then a termination sequence also. As for translation, in eukaryotic cells, it looks for a Kozak sequence to initiate translation.

You didn't mention any Kozak sequence in your video, though from what I found, it contains the start codon. So is it possible to get 2 TATA boxes or Kozak sequences before the next termination sequence or stop codon? Would that be overlapping genes / protein templates?
Thanks

The goal of the video is to basic, therefore I did not mention TATA boxes and Kozak sequences. Theoretically, two kozac sequences could be present, however, I don't know if that is actually the case. It is more likely that alternative splicing would be used to obtain different protein products.
