| 1. | Promoter, RNA polymerase, and enhancer. |
| 2. | Promoter, structural gene, and terminator. |
| 3. | Operator, structural gene, and enhancer. |
| 4. | Promoter, structural gene, and spliceosome. |
| 1. | Terminate RNA synthesis. |
| 2. | Signal the RNA polymerase where to start transcription. |
| 3. | Modify the RNA after transcription. |
| 4. | Transport the RNA out of the nucleus. |
In eukaryotes, which of the following is removed from
initially transcribed RNA before it is transported to the
cytoplasm for translation?
(1) Intron
(2) 3’ Poly A tail
(3) Ribosome binding site
(4) 5’ cap
Removal of introns and joining the exons in a defined order in a transcription unit is called:
| 1. | splicing | 2. | tailing |
| 3. | transformation | 4. | capping |
What initiation and termination factors are involved in transcription in prokaryotes?
| 1. | σ and ρ , respectively |
| 2. | α and β , respectively |
| 3. | β and γ , respectively |
| 4. | α and σ , respectively |
____ are the units of heredity.
(1) Cells
(2) Genes
(3) Chromosomes
(4) Alleles
During transcription, RNA polymerase binds to DNA site
1. Regulator
2. Promoter
3. Enhancer
4. Receptor.
Which of the following RNAs is not required for the synthesis of protein?
1. rRNA
2. siRNA
3. mRNA
4. tRNA
| 1. | In both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, transcription occurs in the cytoplasm and involves RNA polymerase II. |
| 2. | In prokaryotes, transcription and translation are coupled, whereas in eukaryotes, transcription occurs in the nucleus and is followed by post-transcriptional modifications. |
| 3. | Prokaryotic transcription requires multiple types of RNA polymerases, unlike eukaryotic transcription which uses only one. |
| 4. | Eukaryotic mRNA is immediately functional after transcription, whereas prokaryotic mRNA undergoes extensive splicing and capping. |
