WORKBOOK SOLVED QUESTIONS
COMPILATIO
◉ D. snRNP.
Answer: Which of the following is not a part of the eukaryotic
transcription initiation complex?
A. promoter
B. RNA polymerase
C. TBP
D. snRNP
E. TATA box
◉ B. RNA polymerase transcribes through the terminator sequence,
causing the polymerase to fall off the DNA and release the transcript.
Answer: Which of the following statements best describes the
termination of transcription in prokaryotes?
Selected
Answer:
, A. RNA polymerase transcribes through the polyadenylation signal,
causing proteins to associate with the transcript and cut it free from
the polymerase.
B. RNA polymerase transcribes through the terminator sequence,
causing the polymerase to fall off the DNA and release the transcript.
C. RNA polymerase transcribes through an intron, and the snRNPs
cause the polymerase to let go of the transcript.
D. Once transcription has initiated, RNA polymerase transcribes
until it reaches the end of the chromosome.
E. RNA polymerase transcribes through a stop codon, causing the
polymerase to stop advancing through the gene and release the
mRNA.
◉ B. An enzyme made up of RNA..
Answer: What is a ribozyme?
A. An enzyme that catalyzes reactions in which RNA is a reactant.
B. An enzyme made up of RNA.
C. An enzyme that catalyzes the association between the large and
small ribosomal subunits.
D. An enzyme that synthesizes RNA as part of the transcription
process.
E. An enzyme that synthesizes RNA primers during DNA replication.
◉ A. mRNA contains a 5'UTR and 3'UTR..
