Central Dogma of Genetics Assignment.
OVERVIEW
This worksheet complements the Central Dogma and Genetic Medicine Click & Learn from HHMI
BioInteractive. This worksheet comes directly from HHMI BioInteractive.
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.
A surfacing of a phenotype of a characteristic or effect assigned to a certain gene.
2. Click on the “Central Dogma” menu tab at the top of the screen.
The table below outlines the steps in eukaryotic gene expression. Click on each tab in the tutorial
and briefly summarize each step below. There are little arrows next to each molecule involved. Click
on these to get more information on each molecule.
