transcription, translation

Question 1

transcription

Answer 1

DNA template strand is read by RNA polymerase to make a pre - mRNA strand

Question 2

RNA processing

Answer 2

pre mRNA is turned into mRNA by splicing and the addition of a 5’methyl cap and 3’poly-A-tail

Question 3

poly a tail, the longer it is,

Answer 3

the more it prevents degradation and makes it more stable

Question 4

translation

Answer 4

mRNA goes into the ribosome 5’ methyl cap first, and tRNA molecules find complementary codons to their anticodons to leave specific amino acids that make a polypeptide through peptide bonds.

Question 5

splicing

Answer 5

removing introns and joining exons together

Question 6

alternative splicing

Answer 6

different exons may be spliced, resulting in a single gene producing many different mRNA strands

Question 7

exocytosis

Answer 7

a type of bulk transport that moves large substances out of a cell. through secretory vesicles.
