SG 8.3

Question 1

What is the definition of transcription?

Answer 1

The process of making RNA by copying

Question 2

What is the central dogma?

Answer 2

The process of DNA transcribing into RNA, and then later given a specific trait

Question 3

What bases in RNA pair?

Answer 3

C -> G
A -> U

Question 4

What are some similarities between DNA and RNA?

Answer 4

Enhancer/Silencer
Promoter
Exons
Introns

Question 5

What are the stages of transcription?

Answer 5

Initiation
Elongation
Termination

Question 6

Describe the initiation stage?

Answer 6

Transcription factors are being added and binded to promoters and RNA polymerase gets added and they begin the copying process

Question 7

Describe the elongation stage?

Answer 7

RNA polymerase breaks freeze and adds a 5’ protective cap. As RNA polymerase copies, it begins to splice out the introns

Question 8

Describe the termination stage?

Answer 8

the final step in a biological process, such as transcription or translation, where the newly synthesized molecule is released from the machinery involved, effectively ending the process
