Document Summary

Define it as we did in lecture (on the slides). The entire dna sequence necessary for the production of a functional protein or rna. Promoters, introns/exons, enhancer sequences (either upstream/ downstream of promoter: monocistronic (eukaryotic mrnas) versus polycistronic (prokaryotic) mrnas. Polycistronic- mrna codes for multiple proteins: eukaryotic transcription units (fig. What is an intron and what"s alternative splicing (fig. Intron- any nucleotide sequence within a gene that is removed by rna splicing to generate the final mature rna product of a gene. Alternative splicing- a process by which the exons of the rna produced by transcription of a gene are reconnected in multiple ways during rna splicing: a fundamental difference between the yeast genome and the mammalian genome (fig. Human genome contains large amounts of non-functional dna while yeast has very little non- functioning/non-coding dna. Pseudogene- dysfunctional relatives of genes that have lost their protein-coding ability or are otherwise no longer expressed in the cell.
