- RNA Synthesis
- The process of assembling RNA is called _________.
- How is replication different from transcription?
- Refer to Exercise 4. Write the letters for the base sequence ofmRNA in the spaces below DNA. Note that the order is reversed;start with the 3â end of the DNA strand and the 5â end of the mRNAstrand. Transcription is DNA to mRNA. Note RNA contains Uracilinstead of Thymine; There is no thymine in RNA.

The TATA-binding protein (TBP) binds to the TATA box sequence in eukaryotic promoters. What is its function in transcriptional initiation?
It blocks access of RNA polymerase to the promoter, until removed by general transcription factors.
It is the subunit of prokaryotic RNA polymerase that is required to recognize promoters.
It modifies histones so nucleosomes can be removed from DNA for transcription.
It bends and partly unwinds DNA at a promoter.
The genetic code is said to be âdegenerateâ because
there are more codons than amino acids. |
there are more amino acids than codons. |
different organisms use different codons to encode the same amino acid. |
some codons specify more than one amino acid. |
