Transcription/Translation Bellringer

Both DNA and RNA are polymers composed of the same basic subunits called -

• sugars

• nucleotides

• amino acids

• lipids

Which process is responsible for copying the information found in an organism’s genome into strands of RNA?

• translation

• mitosis

• transcription

• photosynthesis

Before DNA can be transcribed, the DNA must unwind and separate between the –

• nitrogen bases

• phosphate groups

• carboxyl groups

• deoxyribose sugars

DNA is unwound and transcribed through the action of –

• vitamins

• polysaccharides

• cytochromes

• enzymes

Which of the following nucleotide sequences could not represent a segment of RNA?

• GGC

• CUA

• TTG

• GUC

Chemical signals are detected by receptor proteins in the cell membrane which triggers a cascade affect. This causes a formerly unexpressed gene to activate. This sequence of events demonstrates that the expression of genes is –

• spontaneous

• regulated

• random

• unmediated
