Central Dogma and Genetic Medicine Click & Learn
Student Worksheet
OVERVIEW
This worksheet complements the Central Dogma and Genetic Medicine Click & Learn.
PROCEDURE
As you proceed through the Click & Learn, follow the instructions below and answer the questions in the spaces
provided.
1. Let’s review! The central dogma of molecular biology refers to the process of gene expression. Write the
definition of gene expression in your own words.
The phenotype of the gene/the characteristic that is shown.

Steps are involved in this step?
RNA Polymerase, DNA, RNA Polymerase converts information from a

RNA, Exon and Intron section of the DNA into a complementary
aC s
Transcription sequence with the tRNA.

Spliceosome, Inron, Exon The spliceosome cuts up introns and splices
together exons to create mRNA

mRNA
Transport
Th
mRNA, tRNA, Ribosome, Amino acids are put together in a chain by the
Polypeptide ribosome once it reads the code from the tRNA
sh
Translation that it recieved from the mRNA.
Polypeptide WHen the chain is complete the polypeptide will
Protein fold into a 3D protein and do a specific kind of
Processing function. This is done in the Golgi or in the
cytoplasm.
