Chapter 14, Problem 8TYU
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
The coupling of the transcription and translation in eukaryotic cells.
Introduction:
The central dogma states that flow of genetic material occurs in two steps, transcription and translation. The RNA (ribonucleic acid) is synthesized from DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and the process is called transcription. The translation is the process, in which RNA synthesize proteins.

Why is it important for the centrosome to duplicate during G1-G2 (interphase) before M phase? The kinetochores serve as a link between the sister chromatids and the microtubules attached to the mitotic spindle. a) How are microtubules still able to exhibit dynamic instability after they are bound to the sister chromatids and b) why is this important to mitosis? As the name suggests, the Anaphase-promoting-complex (APC), promotes the 4th phase of mitosis by separating the sister chromatids so they can travel to separate poles of the cell, and prevents them from being re-zipped together.
