Question 4

Non-coding sequences include those that regulate ________ and those that are ________ to RNA but are never _________

Answer 4

Transcription
Transcribed
Translated

Question 5

A genome _____________

Answer 5

Is the code within an organisms DNA which contains all the genetic information required to make a new organism

Question 6

A gene _____________

Answer 6

Is a sequence of DNA bases within the genome which codes for protein

Question 7

Roles for non-coding DNA

Answer 7

1. Regulation of transcription
2. Protection
3. Transcription of non-translated RNA

Question 8

Structure of genome in eukaryotes

Answer 8

DNA -> coding DNA {exons + introns} -(transcription)> primary transcript -(alternative RNA splicing)> mature splicing -(translation)> protein -(post-translational modification)>

DNA -> non-coding DNA : - regulation of transcription

                                           - telomeres 
                                           - production of RNA

DNA -> other DNA sequences
