Q

→ Matches the mRNA sequence

A

the coding strand

18
Q

→ Initiates transcription

A

RNA Polymerase

19
Q

This sequence emits signals
indicating the end or termination of
the process.

A

TERMINATION

20
Q

REQUIREMENTS BEFORE LEAVING THE NUCLEUS

A

Processing, quality check, packaging

21
Q

involves removing unnecessary bases because not all of the codes are essential for maturation

A

splicing

22
Q

Are required to make proteins

A

mRNA

23
Q

This complex assists in removing unnecessary elements.

A

○ Spliceosome

24
Q

are catalytic RNA molecules that function as enzymes and can splice RNA

A

Ribozymes

25
Q

This process involves double-checking and proofreading errors, correcting any discrepancies that may arise.

A

EDITING

26
Q

→ Signals the end of mRNA
→ Exports mRNA out of the nucleus
→ Protects mRNA from enzymes that
might break it down

A

POLYADENYLATION

27
Q

→ Single Guanine
→ Consist Guanine

A

5’cap

28
Q

→ “Poly A tail”
→ Around 250 Adenines

A

○ 3’ tail

29
Q

this serves as the primary template for synthesizing proteins by ribosomes. It is the central player, holding the blueprint for protein synthesis.

A

Messenger RNA

30
Q

transfers specific amino acids to growing polypeptide chains at the ribosomal site of protein synthesis during translation
