Transcription

Front

Where does transcription take place?

Back

Nucleus

Front

What happens during the editing process of RNA before it can be used to make proteins?

Back

A spliceosome cuts out the introns.

Front

What is one key difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

Only RNA has the base Uracil.

Front

What is the process called where DNA is transcribed into RNA?

Back

Transcription.

Front

What role does mRNA play in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA carries information from genes to ribosomes.

Front

What are introns and exons in the context of RNA?

Back

Introns are non-coding regions that are removed during RNA editing, while exons are coding regions that remain.

Front

What is the function of a spliceosome?

Back

A spliceosome is a complex that removes introns from pre-mRNA.

Front

What is the significance of the base Uracil in RNA?

Back

Uracil replaces Thymine in RNA and pairs with Adenine during transcription.

Front

What is the end product of transcription?

Back

The end product of transcription is messenger RNA (mRNA).

Front

How does RNA polymerase function in transcription?

Back

RNA polymerase synthesizes RNA by adding nucleotides complementary to the DNA template strand.
