Question 5

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)

Answer 5

Transcribe genes that code for large RNA molecules

Question 6

Messenger RNA (mRNA)

Answer 6

Transcribes protein coding genes

Question 7

Transfer RNA (tRNA)

Answer 7

Transcribes genes that code for tRNAs

Question 8

RNA polymerase template moves

Answer 8

3’ - 5 ‘

Question 9

RNA molecule is synthesized

Answer 9

5’ - 3’

Question 10

Coding strand is a reference

Answer 10

5’ - 3’

Question 11

What are the phases of transcription and translation

Answer 11

Initiation
Elongation
Termination

Question 12

Initiation (transcription)

Answer 12

Binds to the DNA in and unwinds it

Question 13

Elongation (transcription)

Answer 13

Moves along the DNA template and creates RNA

Question 14

Termination (transcription)

Answer 14

When RNA polymerase reaches termination site it is released

-occurs when polyadenylation signal is transcribed

Question 15

Promoter

Answer 15

Promotes the synthesis of the RNA

• tells the RNA polymerase where to start the transcription
• tells the RNA polymerase which DNA strand to use as a template
