Transcription of DNA into mRNA does not require an RNA primer. True
Transcription of DNA into mRNA requires an RNA primer. False
A silencer or enhancer element is almost always located immediately upstream of the gene that it is
affecting. False
A silencer element is always located close to the gene it effects, but enhancer element can be far away.
False
A silencer or enhancer element can be located far way from the gene it effects. True
The ability of a polymerase to stall and reverse direction when incorrect bases are added is called
proofediting. False
Once a polymerase is moving forward along a nucleotide chain, the ability to stall and reverse direction if
things go wrong is called proofreading. True
