Transcription of RNA

[go to this section in the Guide]
Chapter Six: DNA, RNA, and Protein Synthesis


Question 1
 DNA indirectly directs the production of proteins based upon
   1.  the order of its nitrogenous bases
2.  the order of its phosphate groups
3.  the order of its five-carbon sugars
4.  currently unknown reasons
 

Question 2
 The molecule which acts as an intermediary between the DNA and the ribosomes is
   1.  messenger RNA
2.  transfer RNA
3.  ribosomal RNA
4.  intermediate RNA
 

Question 3
 If a DNA strand reads TACGGCATG (where the names of the bases are abbreviated), then the RNA molecule created by transcription would read
   1.  ATGCCGTAC
2.  AUGCCGUAC
3.  CGTAATGCA
4.  CGUAAUGCA
 

Question 4
 A promoter is best described as a
   1.  substance which facilitates RNA transcription
2.  sequence of bases at which RNA polymerase begins transcription
3.  type of RNA which promotes cell division
4.  environmental change which cause transcription to occur
