Gene expression #1

What determines the primary structure of a protein?

• Hydrogen bonds

• Weak interactions between the R groups

• The sequence of DNA nucleotides

• Secondary structure

• Tertiary structure

The overall process where DNA is read to make RNA and RNA is read to make protein can be referred to as

• transcription

• Translation

• Gene Expression

• RNA modification

Transcription is

• When RNA is read to produce an amino acid sequence

• When DNA is read to make an RNA sequence

• When introns are spliced out of the RNA

• When a 5' cap is added to RNA

• When a poly A tail is added to RNA

Translation is

• When RNA is read to produce an amino acid sequence

• When DNA is read to make an RNA sequence

• When introns are spliced out of the RNA

• When a 5' cap is added to RNA

• When a poly A tail is added to RNA

One difference between DNA and RNA is that

• DNA contains the sugar ribose and RNA contains the sugar deoxyribose

• DNA contains uracil and RNA contains thymine

• RNA contains the sugar ribose and DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose

• RNA contains uracil and DNA contains thymine

• More than one of the other choices is correct
