Uracil

It replaces thymine in RNA:

consists of noncoding DNA

located at the ends of linear (chromosomal) DNA

contains repeat sequences

All refer to ‘telomeres’

5' → 3' direction

The complementary RNA during transcription is created from the

coding sequence

The sequence that will eventually be directly translated into the protein is called regulatory sequences

Giemsa

specific for the phosphate groups of DNA

Quinacrine Quinacrine

binds to the adenine thymine-rich regions

50

80

The σ factor is released before _____ nucleotides of mRNA are synthesized.

abortive initiation

These are truncated transcripts

telomerase

When activated, it enables cancer cells to become technically immortal

the following is an extranuclear DNA?

three prime untranslated region

The sequence following (downstream) the coding sequence is called the

Escherichia coli

these organisms has only 1 chromosome

five prime untranslated region

The regulatory sequence before (upstream) the coding sequence is called the

DNA helicase

This is involved in the separation of opposing strands of double-stranded DNA to provide access to a single-stranded DNA template.

Walther Fleming

promoter clearance

The factor Sigma plays an important role in this stage of transcription.

Transcription

It is the temporary copying of information by RNA using DNA as a template:

3’ – 5’

The daughter strand, called leading strand, that uses a 5'-3' template proceeds in a _______ direction.

methionine

The start codon brings with it this appropriate amino acid

Tryptophan

Tyrosine

Phenylalanine

These amino acids are aromatic

-30 base pairs from the start site of transcription.

The TATA box, as a core promoter is found

RNA polymerase

This is in charge of clearing the promoter during transcription:

RNA polymerase

During transcription, a DNA sequence is read by

cytoplasm

Where does translation occur in the Eukaryotes?

Resistance (R) factors

carry genes for being less susceptible to antimicrobial drugs or toxins.

Bacteriocin factors

carry genes for proteinaceous toxins

Virulence plasmids

carry genes for pathogenicity

Fertility (F) factors

conjugation, transfer of genes
