Transcription

Question 1

Transcription:

Answer 1

Making mRNA
DNA to RNA to Proteins

Question 2

Parts of eukaryotic cell

Answer 2

Enhancer, Promoter, Econ, and intron

Question 3

Stages

Answer 3

Initiation, Elongation, and Termination

Question 4

Splicing process:

Answer 4

RNA is being spliced which is introns being removed.

Question 5

Initiation:

Answer 5

Transcription factors bind to promoters and enhancers, start copying the gene sequence into mRNA.

Question 6

Elongation:

Answer 6

RNA Polymerase breaks free from transcription factors. Protective cap of 5’ is added to RNA. RNA polymerase copies DNA, other proteins are recruited that splice out introns.

Question 7

Termination:

Answer 7

RNA polymerase moves past the polyadenylation site so RNA doesn’t die as it leaves the nucleus.

Question 8

Promoter:

Answer 8

Where transcription starts.

Question 9

Enhancer/silencer:

Answer 9

Additional binding site for transcription factors, can start or stop the process.

Question 10

Exons:

Answer 10

Sequences that will be present in the mRNA.

Question 11

Introns:

Answer 11

Will be spliced out and removed.
