2
Q
Transcription
A
The transfer of genetic information from the form of DNA to the form of RNA.
3
Q
Translation
A
The process of using the code in RNA to put it together to protein
4
Q
Antisense strand
A
The strand of DNA which serves as temple during the process of transcription
5
Q
Promoter
A
is a signal for the transcription to begin
6
Q
Terminator
A
The nucleotide sequence at the end of the gene that signals the end of transcription
7
Q
Initiation
A
It is the first phase of transcription during which RNA polymerase attaches to the promoter and begins to build mRNA
