RNA polymerase will transcribe only the exons by skipping over the introns within a eukaryotic gene sequence 2.) RNA polymerase will transcribe both DNA strands, moving in the 3' to 5' direction for one strand and 5' to 3' on the other 3.)

In protein synthesis, DNA transcription records the genetic message, while ribosomal ______________ interprets the message. ________________ carries the genetic code to the ribosomes to facilitate protein/amino acid synthesis. The genetic message to make a specific amino acid in a protein, is carried by a specific three nucleotide unit on the messenger RNA called a During transcription, the nitrogen base adenine on the DNA bonds with the nitrogen base ______________ on the messenger RNA. The enzyme __________________ unwinds the DNA double helix in DNA transcription.
mRNA and tRNA are involved in producing proteins from genes in the DNA. One codon consisting of 3 nucleotides corresponds to an amino acid in the protein that gets built. It is important to understand the relationship between the following nucleic acids: DNA template and mRNA strands are (the same or complementary) DNA template and tRNA anticodon strands are (the same or complementary) DNA non-template and mRNA strands are (the same or complementary) DNA non-template and tRNA anticodon strands are (the same or complementary) DNA template and DNA non-template strands are (the same or complementary) mRNA and tRNA anticodon strands are (the same or complementary)
Which of the following is the definition of a gene? RNA that delivers amino acids to a ribosome during translation RNA that carries a protein-building message A unit of information encoded in the sequence of nucleotide bases in DNA The RNA component of ribosomes
Which is NOT a true difference between messenger RNA and DNA? (i.e., which of the following statements is false?) DNA remains in the nucleus (except when the nuclear envelope breaks down during mitosis), whereas mRNA is never in the nucleus; it is always in the cytoplasm. A DNA molecule has a longer life span than a typical molecule of RNA. DNA has thousands of genes; mRNA is usually a copy of just one gene. DNA has thousands of genes; mRNA is usually a copy of just one gene.
