To illustrate: How the eukaryotic gene containing four alternating exon and intron regions could encode multiple transcripts. Introduction: To convert genotype to phenotype , the conversion of information saved in the DNA to proteins is required. The central dogma describes the flow of information is one direction (DNA to RNA, and RNA to proteins). The flow of information from DNA to RNA is referred to as transcription, while the flow of information from RNA to protein is referred to as translation. In eukaryotes, coding sequences referred to as exons are intervened by non-coding DNA sequences referred to as introns. These introns are not shown in mRNA as well as protein.

Preoperative Diagnosis: Torn medial meniscus, left knee Postoperative Diagnosis: Combination horizontal cleavage tear/flap tear, posterior horn, medial meniscus, left knee. Operation: Arthroscopic subtotal medial meniscectomy, left knee Anesthetic: General endotracheal Description of Procedure: The patient was placed on the operating table in the supine position and general endotracheal anesthesia was administered. After an adequate level of anesthesia was achieved, the patient's left lower extremity was prepped with Betadine scrubbing solution, then draped in a sterile manner. Several sites were then infiltrated with 1% Xylocaine solution with Epinephrine to help control bleeding from stab wounds to be made at these sites. These stab wounds were made anterolaterally at the level of the superior pole of the patella for insertion of an irrigation catheter into the suprapatellar pouch area, anterolaterally at the level of the joint line for insertion of the scope and anteromedially at…
