Summary Introduction

To sketch: The figure to show the way in which reverse transcription is catalyzed by the enzyme reverse transcriptase and labeling of nucleic acids involved and produced by the process and draw arrows that indicated the direction of synthesis along the template.

Introduction: A gene is a set of nucleotides that codes a particular protein. Gene expression causes the synthesis of a protein. The gene expression is regulated in a controlled way depending on the requirement of the cell. For example, proteins involved in cell division are synthesized prior to the cell division. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic genes have differential gene expression in order to suit the specific needs of the cell.

Match the term to its best definition. molecule with high-energy bond that carries amino acid to translation site part of a gene that gets translated into a protein primary transcript in eukaryotes that needs to be processed single stranded nucleic acid that helps both in transcription and in splicing nucleic acid that makes up 50% of each ribosome sequence of DNA upstream from the gene that binds RNA polymerase before transcription post processing molecule that carries instructions for making a protein from the nucleus to a ribosome in the cytoplasm part of a gene that gets spliced out during pre mRNA processing
Consider this list (below) of steps involved in transcription. These steps are out of order.  TRANSCRIPTION: 1. mRNA travels through a nuclear pore and enters the cytoplasm 2. the mRNA polymerase attaches at the start of a specific gene 3. RNA polymerase reads the gene surface4.  a transcription factor bonds to a promoter site5.  DNA molecule is unwound 6. a complimentary mRNA is produced What is the correct order of this transcription?
The diagram below depicts an active transcription bubble after a short period of RNA synthesis during the transcription process of a prokaryotic gene. Redraw the diagram and label parts (i) to (v) on the diagram. Motivate your answers. (i) the template and the non-template strands; (ii) the orientation (direction) of both DNA strands and that of the newly synthesised RNA strand; (iii) the location of a possible promotor sequence; (iv) the location of a possible Shine-Dalgarno sequence; (v) the specific area of activity of a RNA polymerase.
