What is "transcription"? - answer The process of making RNA
What sequence indicates the "beginning" (initiation) of the transcription process? -
answer The promoter
What is the "template strand"? - answer part of the DNA that binds to rib nucleotides as
they are being polymerized
What is the role of sigma in bacteria? (Choose the ONE best answer) - answerIt binds
to the promoter sequence of a gene
What is the "+1" site of a gene? (Choose ONE best answer) - answer it is the nucleotide
where the first ribonucleoside triphosphate base pairs with the DNA template strand
When RNA is synthesized... (Choose ALL correct answers) - answer new
phosphodiester bonds are made at the 3' end of the growing RNA strand
ribonucleoside triphosphates are a substrate for RNA polymerase
