About DNA, Protein Synthesis and Gene Expression
GoConqr OriginalWhat the resources cover
The page starts with the building blocks. The mind map Structure of DNA and RNA sets out nucleotides, the differences between DNA and RNA, and how the polymers are built. The quiz Nucleotides asks you to label a DNA molecule and fill in base pairings and hydrogen bonds.
From there the material moves to copying and reading the code. The flashcard deck IB Biology Topic 7.2 DNA Replication (HL) covers the direction of replication and the enzymes involved. The mind map Protein Synthesis walks through transcription, where RNA polymerase attaches to DNA and builds an mRNA strand.
Where to start
- Open Structure of DNA and RNA to get the vocabulary straight.
- Try the quiz Nucleotides to test base pairing and bonds.
- Move to DNA Quiz Biology 30 for questions on the nucleus and replication enzymes.
- Study Transcription and translation as a quiz, then compare it with the Protein Synthesis mind map.
Gene expression and mutation
Once the basics feel secure, look at control. The deck A Level AQA Biology: Unit 8 (The control of gene expression) asks when gene mutations arise and what an addition mutation is. The page also lists mind maps on the lac operon, operons and eukaryotic gene regulation, plus a quiz on prokaryotic transcription and translation.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a mind map first, then close it and take a quiz on the same topic. Wrong answers show which branch of the map to reread. Flashcards then help with terms such as purines, pyrimidines and the phosphodiester bond.
The resources suit school courses such as A-level Biology, GCSE Biology, IB Biology, AP Biology and SQA Higher Biology, and university-level molecular biology. This unit sits in the Genetics and Evolution strand of Biology and natural sciences.
Next step
Choose one topic that feels shaky, work through a map and a quiz, and see what is left to revise.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the mind map Structure of DNA and RNA. It covers nucleic acids, nucleotides and the differences between DNA and RNA, which the later topics rely on. Then test yourself with the Nucleotides quiz before moving to replication and protein synthesis.
What do the mind maps on this page cover?
They range from the structure of DNA and RNA to replication, transcription, translation and protein synthesis. There are also maps on the lac operon, operons, DNA sequencing and eukaryotic gene regulation, so you can follow the topic from basic structure through to control of gene expression.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. If you want to keep your quiz scores or make your own quizzes, maps, flashcards and notes, you can add a free account.
Which exams and levels do they suit?
The resources mention A-level Biology, GCSE Biology, IB Biology, AP Biology, SQA Higher Biology, OCR A-level Biology, AS Biology and SACE Biology, plus the MCAT. Around 57% are at school level and 43% at university level, so both groups will find material.
Is there anything on gene regulation and mutation?
Yes. The deck A Level AQA Biology: Unit 8 (The control of gene expression) covers how changes in DNA base sequence can alter proteins and asks about addition mutations. You will also find mind maps on the lac operon and eukaryotic gene regulation, and a quiz on prokaryotic and eukaryotic regulation.
What if I cannot find the topic I need?
Try a nearby topic first, such as transcription, translation or nucleic acids, as many resources overlap. If something is still missing, you can build your own mind map, flashcards or quiz on it and keep it alongside the community-made material.
