near the beginning of a gene
(upstream of the gene toward the 5’ end)

20
Q

how long is promoter region ?

A

100-1000bp

21
Q

how important is the promoter region

A

initiation of transcription.

22
Q

The 3′ untranslated region (3’UTR)
contains a signal for the addition of a
sequence of adenosine residues
to the end of mRNA

A

polyA tail

23
Q

process when a gene is used to synthesized RNA and protein

A

gene expression

24
Q

what are the Genes are transcribed in all cells of the body.?

A

housekeeping genes

25
Q

housekeeping genes encode product that are reqiured for…

A

cell’s maintenance and metabolism.

26
Q

Gene regulation importance

A

appropriate genes are expressed at the
correct :
amount,
place
time
during development.

27
Q

Proteins that control the rate of transcription of genetic information from
DNA to mRNA.

A

Transcription factors

28
Q

how does the Transcription factors works

A

controlling the recruitment of RNA
polymerase

29
Q

enhancers

A

increase the transcription rate

30
Q

silencers

A

decrease the transcription rate

31
Q

how transcription process

A

Transcription factors recognize the promoter of the gene.
* RNA polymerase II then binds and forms the transcription initiation complex.
* RNA polymerase II synthesized RNA single strand.

32
Q

Removing of the introns

A

splicing

33
Q

number of modification happend to mRNA before leaving nucleus

A

RNA processing.

34
Q

importance of 5’ Capping:

A

facilitate transport of the mRNA to the
cytoplasm
protect transcript RNA form degradation by endogenous exonucleases

35
Q

what is Polyadenylation, and how important it is ?

A

addition of 3’ poly-A tail
facilitates nuclear export and translation.

36
Q

carrying the information from genes to cytoplasm to produce polypeptides(proteins)

A

mRNA

37
Q

transporting amino acids to ribosomes

A

tRNA

38
Q

rRNA

A

associated with ribosomal protein from ribosomes

39
Q

ribosomes location

A

cytoplasm

40
Q

ribosomes construction

A

two different sized subunits (small subunit and large subunit)

41
Q

ribosomes function

A

translates the genetic information in the RNA into a string of amino
acids that will become a protein.

42
Q

trinucleotide sequence which is complementary to the codon of the
mRNA.

A

anticodon

43
Q

stop codon for termination the protein synthesis

A

(UAA, UAG, UGA)

44
Q

start codon

A

AUG met

45
Q

the ribosome
moves along the mRNA, and the amino
acids are linking up by the formation of
peptide bonds.
this action is done by what enzyme

A

peptidyl transferase

46
Q

post translation modifactions are:

A

Glycosylation
* Methylation
* Phosphorylation
* Hydroxylation
* Proteolytic cleavage
