1
New cards

Transcription

DNA → RNA

2
New cards

What direction does RNA synthesis occur in

5’→ 3’

3
New cards

What direction is template ssDNA read in

3'→ 5’

4
New cards

Coding strand different name

Non-template strand

5
New cards

Difference bw coding strand (non-template) and transcribed RNA

exact same except T/U swap

6
New cards

Template strand (non-coding strand) vs transcribed RNA

has reverse complement seq bc used as template. read in 3’ to 5’ so new RNA can be synthesized 5’ to 3’

7
New cards

Gene

region on organism’s genome

CODES INFORMATION to produce protein or functional RNA expressed in a CONTROLLED WAY

8
New cards

2 major components of genes

  1. information to make proteins or functional RNAs

  2. Information to control gene expression


9
New cards

Trasnscirbed region

Gets transcribed to mRNA upon gene expression

10
New cards

Promoter region

Part of the gene that regulates where, when, and how frequently gene gets transcribed

11
New cards

What binds to the promoter to initiate transcription

DNA polymerase
