Your task in this assessment is to describe how a specific gene is replicated and used to make its protein.

Choose an important gene to human cells. There are over 20,000 genes in our genome so to help you narrow it down you can think of an enzyme or protein we have studied earlier in the course. You will need to find and describe each of the following details:

• on which chromosome the gene is located, 
• how the chromosome is opened up to allow for replication or translation,
• how DNA is replicated,
• how a gene is transcribed,
• how a gene is translated, 
• what modifications the protein undergoes after translation,
• how the gene product is used in the cell.

Present your information in a narrative style that describes a series of steps. Think of how the sequence of the processes can be organized into an interesting storyline. You may find you can compose an interesting narrative by making an infographic, an animation, or a comic strip.

Your narrative should include these details and concepts:

• location in the cell or organelle where these processes occur,
• the main enzymes and substrates for each process in the Central Dogma,
• details about initiation, elongation, and termination of each process in the Central Dogma,
• how gene product is relevant to human cell functions.
