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

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

DNA is unwound and transcribed through the action of –

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

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 –

Which arrow to the right represents transcription?

Which arrow above represents translation?

In eukaryotes, transcription occurs inside of the -

The translation of proteins is directed and organized primarily through the action of –

Within a nucleic acid, information is organized into specific codons. How many nucleotides are found within each codon?

Each codon found on a strand of mRNA codes for a single amino acid. The amino acid is identified based on which characteristic of the codon?

A gene from one species can be spliced into the genome of an entirely different species and the protein will be made correctly. This provides evidence that the genetic code is –

Complete the strands of nucleic acid above with the correct nitrogen bases.

What is the sequence of amino acids that will be translated from the mRNA?

5' GUA UUG UCA CAA 3'

What is the sequence of amino acids that will be translated from the mRNA?

5' CUA GGU UGA AAA 3'

For the section of DNA above, use the coding strand to determine the sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide.

*HINT: transcribe to mRNA, then translate into amino acids! You may need a piece of scratch paper.
