In eukaryotes, which RNA polymerase makes rRNA?
RNA polymerase I

Which of the following best describes the key function of helicases during transcription?
Cleaving methyl groups from an unwound DNA strand.
Catalyzing the interaction between transcription factors and the DNA strand.
Re-annealing of two DNA strands once transcription and translation processes are complete.
Separation of two strands of DNA; "unwinding" gives polymerases access to the strand.
Relief of tension in the DNA strands to prevent breakage.
Transcription factors that are the first to bind DNA in heterochromatin regions, often promote euchromatin formation, and recruit other transcriptional machinery to promote transcription are best known as which of the following?
Pioneer factors
Histone demethyltransferases
DNA Polymerases
Co-factors
RNA holoenzyme
Before RNA polymerase can initiate transcription, this protein must bind to it, creating the RNA polymerase holoenzyme and allowing for the initiation of transcription.
Sigma factor
Activator protein
Helicase
Topoisomerase
Beta factor
Which polymerase is involved in transcribing ribosomal RNA
RNA polymerase I
RNA polymerase III
DNA polymerase IV
RNA polymerase II
Which of the following are methods for termination of transcription in prokaryotes?
I. Release factor binding
II. Rho-mediated termination
III. Hairpin loop (stem loop) formation
I, II, and III
II and III
I only
III only
A Cell builds its proteins from the Instructions encoded in its

What process occurs before the other?
Transcription and then Translation
Translation and then Transcription
Translation and then Polymerization
Transcription and then Ionization
Messenger RNA (mRNA) can be best described as:
A really cool way of rewriting RNA
The Atom that carries information to an RNA template
A Short-lived RNA molecule that carries encoded information, transcribed from DNA.
A Molecule that has no life and is basically the news reporter of the cellular environment.
just like DNA polymerase, RNA polymerase performs a template directed synthesis in the:
3'---->5' direction

To understand the structure of RNA polymerase, researchers employed what technique to view this enzyme?
X-ray crystallography
Gas Chromatography
Gel Electrophoresis
PCR amplification
How does transcription begin?
It doesn't, transcription doesn't exist
When RNA polymerase binds to sigma to create a holoenzyme and the sigma guides the RNA polymerase to certain locations where transcription should begin.
Some dude brings a flag and says "Hey! Over here!"
The RNA polymerase binds to a coding strand located downstream
