Initiation

The Non-coding regions of mRNA are called ________.

Introns

During Translation, ___________ is the step in which the formation of the Protein chain ends.

Experiments have demonstrated that the "words" of the genetic code (the units that specify amino acids) are

three-nucleotide sequences.

Which one of the following IS NOT a type of RNA?

uRNA

The process of converting DNA to RNA is called ________.

Transcription

The transfer of genetic information from DNA to RNA is called

Transcription

Which type of RNA is the "translator" which has a Codon on one end and an Anticodon on the other end and shuttles Amino Acids over to a Ribosome for insertion into a Protein chain?

tRNA

tRNA has one end of the molecule encoded in nucleotide language which matches to the RNA Codon and this end is called its ____________.

Anticodon

In a "Silent" Mutation, the ________.

False

In Nitrogen base pairing in DNA, Adenine always pairs with Cytosine and Guanine always pairs with Thymine. True False

False Adenine always pairs with Thymine and Cytosine always pairs with Guanine.

Which mutation in DNA would lead to the change of a single amino acid in a protein?

Missense mutation

A change in a cell's DNA sequence is called (a) _________.

Mutation

Which one or more of the following outside factors may cause Mutations?

Transcription begins with a nucleotide sequence called a(n) ______________.

Promoter

Which one of the following happens first in DNA Replication?

The strands unwind.

A Cap and a Tail are added to mRNA in order to prevent damage from other cellular enzymes, to expedite the transport of the mRNA and to help the mRNA bind to the Ribosome.

RNA splicing removes Introns and joins Exons to produce a continuous coding sequence. True False

True

The Genetic Code is redundant, unambiguous, nearly universal, and without punctuation. True False

True

Transcription is the synthesis of RNA under the direction of DNA. True False

True
