The central dogma of biology states that DNA can be converted into
____ through ___________ and that RNA can then be converted into
_______ through _______. - answer RNA
transcription
peptides
translation
A cluster of coding sequences in prokaryotes that is transcribed as a
unit into a single mRNA molecule - answer operon
A sequence or sequences of DNA that is both transcribed into RNA
and translated into protein - answer Exon
A non-coding sequence or non-coding sequences in eukaryotes that
is not translated due to removal - answer Intron
A sequence of DNA that provides a recognition and attachment site
for RNA polymerase to begin transcription - answer promoter
Transcription occurs in three stages - answer initiation, elongation,
and termination.
Place the following events in order as they would occur during the
process of transcription.
Release of the σ (sigma) factor and incorporation of new
ribonucleotides
Specific sequences can result in hairpin structures, which causes
the transcription bubble to dissociate
, RNA polymerase binds to the promoter along with the σ (sigma)
factor
RNA polymerase reaches the start site - answer 1-RNA polymerase
binds to the promoter along with the σ (sigma) factor
2-RNA polymerase reaches the start site
3-Release of the σ (sigma) factor and incorporation of new
ribonucleotides
4-Specific sequences can result in hairpin structures, which causes
the transcription bubble to dissociate
Where does transcription occur? - answer Prokaryotes: cytoplasm

translation occur simultaneously) - answer prokaryotes: yes
eukaryotes: no
Does the transcribed RNA sequence contain introns? - answer
prokaryotes:no
eukaryotes: yes
Are the primary mRNA transcripts modified before moving on to
translation? - answer prokaryotes:no
eukaryotes: yes
