BCHM 4360 exam 2 quiz 1!
, transcription - CORRECT ANSWERS-the copying of one strand of DNA (the coding
strand) into an RNA molecule (a transcript)
information stored in DNA is used to make RNA molecule
initiation, elongation and termination
translation - CORRECT ANSWERS-To produce a protein from an RNA molecule, the
mRNA sequence is read by the ribosome
RNA polymerase - CORRECT ANSWERS-DNA is transcribed into RNA by this large
multisubunit enzyme
copies the coding strand of DNA by using the complementary strand as a template
separates the DNA strands, and allows ribonucleoside triphosphates to base-pair with
the template strand
template/non-coding strand - CORRECT ANSWERS-complementary strand that RNA
pol uses as template
coding strand - CORRECT ANSWERS-not copied part of DNA that RNA is basically
identical to
initiation - CORRECT ANSWERS-starts when RNA polymerase binds to the DNA
sequence just preceding the gene
RNA polymerase separates the DNA strands to make a transcription bubble
the first few ribonucleoside triphosphates are added while the RNA polymerase is at the
promoter
When the RNA is a sufficient size, the RNA polymerase moves past the promoter and
changes conformation to be more stably associated with the DNA (promoter clearance)
5' to 3' - CORRECT ANSWERS-RNA is transcribed in the ... direction
so the template is read 3′ to 5′
promoter - CORRECT ANSWERS-the DNA sequence just preceding the gene that RNA
pol binds to
transcription start site (TSS) - CORRECT ANSWERS-the first base to be transcribed -
this is denoted +1
