NEWBIO251-EXAM 2ACTUAL EXAM WITHCORRECT ANSWERS GRADE A+3 main process of DNA replication--answer--initiation-elongation-terminationCentral Dogma--answer-DNA-> RNA-> ProteinThe process by which DNA is used to encode proteinswhat some of the characteristics of transcription/RNA--answer--Only specific regions are copies-RNA strands are produced, which do not bind with the DNA(exist as single strands)-No proofreadingwhat are the 5 steps in transcription--answer-Step 1: RNApolymerase binds to the promoter (a regulatory region directlyupstream of the gene) and initiates DNA unravelingStep 2 : RNA polymerase facilitates the assembly of freeribonucleotides into chains of RNA, using the DNA as a templateStep 3: The RNA polymerase continues along the gene adding tothe RNA chain, which does not permanently pair with the DNA,but exists as a single strandStep 4: RNA synthesis continues until the RNA polymeraseencounters a specific region of DNA known as a terminatorPreview Mode
