Chapter 17, Problem 1TYU
In eukaryotic cells, transcription cannot begin until
(A) the two DNA strands have completely separated and exposed the promoter.
(B) several transcription factors have bound to the promoter.
(C) the 5' caps are removed from the mRNA.

In the diagram of transcription shown here, fill in the blanks with the appropriate terms: (a) gene; (b) promoter; (c) terminator; (d) RNA polymerase; (e) mRNA.
Which statement is false:
A) Each type of protein ( ex: hemoglobin vs trypsionngen) varies in the length and amino acid sequence of its peptide
B) After the rpocess of transcription is complete, the mRNA that is produced will continue being tranlsated by ribosomes for the rest of the cells life. mRNA never breaks down
C) A ribosome will bind to an mRNA and will translate the sequence by reading one codon at a time and adding one amino acid to the peptide chain. It will stop the translation once it encounters a stop codon
D) The gene for a protein provides the information on the legth of the peptide, along w the amino acid sequence so the protein can be synthesized by a ribosome
E) Once mRNA has left the nucleus, ribosomes will bind to it and will follow the instructions in its sequence to make the new protien
Transcription and translation are separate processes in gene expression; however, they have similarities. The following terms all relate to translation. Which of these has a role that is most similar to that of the transcription start site during transcription?
A)Start codon
B)Stop codon
C)tRNA
D)Amino acid
