TRANSCRIPTION

The process by which the genetic code of DNA is copied into a strand of RNA is called

• translation
• transcription
• transformation
• replication

Where does this process take place in eukaryotic organisms?

• nucleus

• ribosome

• cytoplasm

• smooth ER

Which is a difference between DNA and RNA

• RNA is double stranded
• RNA is not made of nucleotides

• RNA does not contain a sugar

DNA codes for...

• cholesterol
• proteins

Where on the DNA strand does RNA polymerase attach?

• Origin of Replication

• Termination site

• Promotor site/region (TATA box)

• Polymerator

When DNA is transcribed to RNA.... 

• A pairs with U
• C pairs with U
• A pairs with T
• C pairs with T

The______ region lies towards the 3'end of the coding sequence of DNA since the transcript is made in ___ direction.

• Promoter, 5'-3'

• Terminator, 5'-3'

• Promoter, 3'-5'

• Structural genes, 3'-5'

RNA must be edited before it can be used to make Proteins, what happens during this editing process?

• A spliceosome cuts out exons, reconnects the introns

• A spliceosome cuts out the introns, reconnects the exons

• A splicesome pairs nucleotides with the DNA base pairs

• The RNA is checked for typos

Removal of noncoding sequences from the pre-mRNA is called

• Capping

• Splicing

• Tailing

• Spooling
