Instructional Ideas
- Use as a visual aid to support instruction of how regulatory genes control transcription
- Have scholars discuss the next steps based on their knowledge of p53
Classroom Considerations
- Learners should have general knowledge of DNA and RNA, the process of transcription, polymerase, and p53
Pros
- Good visual aid of regulatory genes
- Narrator provides a good description of the process
Cons
- The visuals are hard to identify without knowledge of p53 and transcription
