AP Bio Insta-Review Topic 6.6: Gene Expression & Cell Special

What is the function of RNA Polymerase?

• Synthesize RNA primer

• Synthesize RNA transcript

• Use RNA template to synthesize DNA

• Use RNA template to synthesize protein

What are siRNA?

• Small interfering RNA

• Short introns of RNA

• Serine in RNA

What is the function of the promoter?

• Activators bind to promote transcription

• Motor proteins binds with actin for transcription

• Repressors bind to initiate transcription

• Site of RNA polymerase binding for transcription

What is the function of RNA polymerase?

• Binds to DNA to synthesize an RNA primer

• Binds to DNA to synthesize an RNA transcript

• Binds to RNA to base pair with other RNA strand

• Binds to RNA to seal phosphodiester linkages

What is siRNA?

• Small RNA strand that binds to mRNA to inhibit translation

• Small RNA strand that binds to DNA to inhibit transcription

• Small RNA strand that removes introns from mRNA

• Small RNA strand that removes exons from mRNA
