Document Summary

Objectives: write the central dogma of biology. Label the 5" and 3" ends of the dna and rna molecule. Also, label the template strand, the complimentary strand and rna polymerase. How does rna polymerase know where to initiate transcription? (promoter: how does secondary structure form in an rna molecule (base pair). Rna 2 structure in the termination of transcription (hairpin). In eukaryotes, how does a primary transcript differ from a mature mrna? (exon, intron, splicing, polya tail, 5" cap)* If given an mrna molecule, use the universal genetic code to determine the primary structure of the protein encoded by that mrna. 5" cgg aug guu cca gcg ugu aaa uag acg-3": distinguish between the roles of mrna, rrna, trna (information, enzymatic, amino acid, describe the role of trnas in translation. Describe the role of aminoacyl trna synthase in translation: draw a simple diagram of a ribosome (both subunits) interacting with an mrna.

Related Questions

Order the following choices to examine the process of transcription.

- RNA polymerase moves along the template strand of DNA adding complementary RNA nucleotides, extending the mRNA.

-RNA polymerase binds at the promoter region just upstream from the gene.

-RNA polymerase unwinds the DNA at the promoter site and begins to transcribe the template strand of DNA.

-Transcription continues until a termination site in the DNA is reached.

-The mRNA transcript is released.

		mRNA
		rRNA
		tRNA
		snRNA
		Its a trick, all cells have all four types of RNA.

please help i am a bit confused

1. A region of a chromosome contains two strands of DNA, yet only one is used to transcribe a gene because

A. all genes are found on the same strand of DNA in a chromosome.

B.both strands are transcribed, but only one strand of DNA contains a reading frame.

C.RNA polymerase binds to the terminator, stopping transcription on one strand of DNA.

D.RNA polymerase binds to the promoter, which precedes the gene only on the template strand of DNA.

E.the start of transcription is random along the chromosome and doesn't always occur on a gene.

2. In eukaryotes an mRNA molecule can only be translated by one ribosome at a time.

True or False

3.The process by which cells use the information of RNA molecules to make proteins is transcription.

True or False
