A helicase is not involved in Transcription: T/F

• True
• False

The DNA strand that carries the genetic code is called the

• THE strand
• gene strand
• sense strand
• codon strand

The antisense strand is the strand that is copied during transcription: T/F

• False
• True

What is the series of nucleotides that causes the RNA polymerase to detatch from the DNA?

• terminator 
• helicase
• transcript
• amino acid 

What is one significant difference between Eukaryotic DNA and prokaryote DNA?

• nuetrons

• Another poly-A-tail
• intron
• exon
• cap
