Answer 3

Single strand
small

Question 4

Answer 4

Double Helix
Big

Question 5

What is the order of the Central Dogma?

Answer 5

DNA–> Transcription–>RNA–> Translation–> Protein

Question 6

Transcription

Answer 6

DNA–>RNA

Question 7

What are the parts of transcription?

Answer 7

Template strand
Coding strand
RNA Polymerase

Question 8

Transcribed DNA strand=

Answer 8

template strand

Question 9

template strand=

Answer 9

Transcribed DNA strand

Question 10

Untranscribed DNA strand=

Answer 10

coding strand

Question 11

Coding Strand=

Answer 11

Untranscribed DNA strand

Question 12

Main enzyme=

Answer 12

RNA polymerase

Question 13

Coding strand almost the same as

Answer 13

mRNA except it has T and not U

Question 14

What are the steps of translation?

Answer 14

Stage 1: Initiation
Stage 2: Elongation
Stage 3: Termination

Question 15

What happens in initiation?

Answer 15

Transcription factors bind to the promoter and enhancer
RNA polymerase starts copying the sequence into mRNA

Question 16

What happens in elongation?

Answer 16

RNA breaks free of Transcription Factors
Protective 5’ cap is added to RNA
While the RNA polymerase copies DNA, proteins begin to splice and cut out the introns

Question 17

What happens in termination

Answer 17

At the polydenylation site, the termination sequence is recognized and cut
A poly A tail is added to the end of the RNA molecule and the longer it is the longer it will go w/o being cut up
