Transcription
A
The transfer of genetic information from DNA into an RNA molecule.
2
Q
Complementary Bases
A
AdenineUracil
ThymineAdenine
GyanineCytosine
3
Q
RNA Polymerase
A
Copies the DNA Sequence Downstream (3’—>5’ toward the 5 prime) of the TATA box.
4
Q
mRNA
A
mRNA has the copy of the genetic information of the DNA, ready to be translated into proteins.
5
Q
Termination
A
Point where RNA Polymerase detaches from the DNA
6
Q
Promoters
A
Where the RNA Polymerase can start.
7
Q
Template Strand
A
Is used as a template for RNA polymerase. Used to help make mRNA
8
Q
mRNA caps
A
5’ has a 5’cap and the 3’ has a POLY-A-Tail. 250 Adenines
