AP Biology Transcription and RNA Processing

In eukaryotic cells, transcription cannot begin until 

• the two DNA strands have completely separated and exposed the promoter.
• several transcription factors have bound to the promoter.
• the 5' caps are removed from the mRNA.
• the DNA introns are removed from the template.

The anticodon of a particular tRNA molecule is 

• complementary to the corresponding mRNA codon.
• complementary to the corresponding triplet in rRNA.
• the part of tRNA that bonds with a specific amino acid.
• catalytic, making the tRNA a ribozyme.

What is the flow of genetic information in cells from DNA to protein? (Central Dogma)

• RNA to DNA to protein
• DNA to RNA to protein
• protein to DNA to RNA
• RNA to protein to DNA

Which RNA bases would pair with TACGAA in transcription? 

• AUGCUU
• ATGCTT
• GCATCC
• GCAUCC

Where does transcription occur in eukaryotic cells?

• Nucleus
• Ribosome
• Cytoplasm
• Rough E.R.

RNA polymerase moves in which direction along the DNA?

• 5' to 3' 
• 3' to 5' along the template strand
• 3' to 5' along nontemplate(coding) strand
• 5' to 3' along the template strand

The parts of a gene that do NOT code for amino acids in a protein are called

• introns
• exons
• codons
• anticodons

The production of mature mRNA in eukaryotes involves

• cutting introns out and spicing exons together
• adding the 5' cap
• adding the 3' poly A tail
• all of these are correct

Translation occurs:

• Outside of the Nucleus
• Inside of the Nucleus

Translation is performed by:

• Ribosomes 
• Mitochondria
• Golgi Bodies
• Endoplasmic Reticulum
