Q

Where the main event happens

A

Elongation

17
Q

Termination of Transcription

A
  1. mRNA seperates from DNA Strand
18
Q

Place for protein synthesis

19
Q

Template strand

A

3’ to 5’

20
Q

RNA

A

5’ to 3’

21
Q

in where does mRNA must go through additional process

A

Eukaryotes

22
Q

3 processes involved in additional processing

A
  1. Splicing
  2. Editing
  3. Polyadenylation
23
Q

Splicing

A
  1. Exons are joined together
  2. Introns are removed
    Pre-RNA is now a mature RNA
24
Q

catalytic RNA molecules that function as enzymes and can splice RNA

25
Editing
1. Proofreading and double checking 2. Mutations may occur
26
Types of rna editing
1. Base modification/ Substitution 2. Insertion or Deletion
27
Polyadenylation
1. Signals end of mRNA 2. Exports mRNA out of nucleus 3. Protects nucleus from other enzymes
28
Products of Transcription
1. mRNA 2. Non coding RNA
29
template for the synthesis of proteins by ribosomes
mRN
30
it has blueprint in creating proteins
mRNA
31
Carries out or makes the protein
tRNA

33
Goal of transcription
Transcribe, white out, copy
