The document describes diagrams that should be drawn to illustrate: 1) How an individual's genotype is expressed through their phenotype at the molecular level, including transcription initiation, transcription, mRNA processing and splicing, and translation. 2) The different ways gene expression is controlled, including: DNA packing controlling accessibility; transcription factors and regulatory genes controlling transcription; alternative splicing producing different mRNAs from a single gene; miRNAs controlling expression; and mRNA and protein processing.

1. Draw, label, caption and upload a diagram that shows how an individual’s genotype is
expressed in it’s phenotype. Include the following:The initiation of transcription including
these regulatory proteins: one activator, one enhancer, one DNA bending protein, one
promoter, one gene, RNA polymeraseThe full process of transcriptionmRNA processing &
splicingThe full process of translation including three codons translated into their three
respective amino acidsExplanation of the relationship between genotype and phenotype at
the molecular level in the captionAll three types of RNA labeledanticodon of tRNA correctly
labeled for the final amino acid in the little polypeptide2. Draw, label, caption and upload a
series of diagrams that show the different ways that gene expression is controlled in the
order that they happen in the cell. Include the following:DNA packing with labeled DNA,
histones, nucleosomes, fully formed chromosome.Caption explaining how gene expression
is controlled by DNA packing.Control of gene expression at the transcription level with
labeled transcription factors and regulatory genes.Caption explaining how gene expression
is controlled at the transcription level.Alternative splicing.Caption explaining how this leads
to the formation of different mRNA products from a single gene.The role miRNAs in
controlling gene expression, with associated captionmRNA breakdown, with associated
