, 3 stages of transcription: - ANS initiation, elongation, termination



Initiation (Transcription) - ANS starts with a promoter region that is recognized as the
starting point of gene sequence



Elongation (Transcription) - ANS base pairing occurs (T-A, G-C)



Termination (Transcription) - ANS as RNA polymerase gets to the endpoint it lets go of the
completed mRNA so it can be exported from the nucleus



Translation (Transcription) - ANS a ribosome attaches to mRNA; tRNA translates the
messages into a polypeptide



What do codons do? - ANS they specify the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide



How do mutations occur? - ANS changes in the DNA sequence caused by some error in DNA
or mutagens



What is a phage? - ANS a virus that reproduces itself in bacteria



Lytic cycle (Viruses) - ANS 1. Phage DNA enters a bacterium, then it is replicated, transcribed,
and translated
2. Viral DNA assembles into new phages, which burst from the host cell



Lysogenic cycle (Viruses) - ANS Phage DNA inserts into host chromosome and is passed on to
generation of daughter cells



Explain AIDS: - ANS 1. Acquired Immunodeficiency syndrome
