4.3 study guide Flashcards
1
Q
What is a template strand?
A
Transcribed DNA strand
2
Q
What is a coding strand?
A
Untranscribed DNA strand
3
Q
What is the main enzyme
A
DNA polymerase
4
Q
What happens to introns
A
They are spliced out and removed
5
Q
DNA->RNA is what
A
Transcription
6
Q
RNA->Proteins is what
A
Translation
7
Q
What happens in initiation?
A
Start of transcription where TF bonds to promoter, and RNA poly begins copying
8
Q
What is elongation
A
When RNA pol breaks free and the protective 5’ cap is added to RNA, other Proteins splice out introns
9
Q
What is terminatoin
A
When the termination sequence is recognized and cut, and poly A tail is added to RNA molecule, longer tail=longer mRNA
