Gene Expression

Gene expression is the transfer of genetic information from DNA to RNA to a functioning protein, also

known as the central dogma of molecular biology. The process of gene expression has two main parts,

transcription, translation, and each of these parts consist of the three phases, initiation, elongation, and

termination. The reason why gene expression is such an intriguing concept to me, is how something so

small can cause such a big difference. As well as how intricately detailed every part of the process is.

From DNA helicase unzipping the strands during initiation to RNA polymerase reading the DNA strands

in elongation. How all of this contributes to the way our eyes look or how food digests, the literal

blueprint for what makes us, us. This knowledge comes from the SBI4U course I took last year while I

attended highschool, gene expression was a whole subunit under genetics.

Preliminary Questions

1. What are the key differences between the process of gene expression between eukaryotic and

prokaryotic cells?

2. How is gene expression controlled within organisms? What are the different mechanisms used?
