- Indicate which of the following items are associated with transcription or translation. This could be in prokaryotes or eukaryotes, or both. Group of answer choices: Translation OR Transcription Sigma binds to the promoter mRNA binds to the small ribosomal subunit Spliceosomes remove introns and splice together exons Nucleotides are added from the 5' to 3' end tRNA anticodon binds to the corresponding mRNA codon STOP codon results in terminationarrow_forwardFor the following characteristics, state whether they are true for the 5' CAP, the Poly-A tail, BOTH modifications, or NEITHER modification. Briefly (1 sentence) support your answer. Promotes translation of the mRNA at the 3' end. Acts to prevent degradation of the mRNA by exonucleases. Promotes splicing of the mRNA. Promotes binding of transcription factors to the Mediator complex.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is correct? Many prokaryotic, but not eukaryotic, mRNAs are polycistronic. Eukaryotic, but not prokaryotic primary transcripts undergo extensive post-transcriptional processing before becoming mature MRNAS. O All of the provided statements are correct. transcription and translation are tightly coupled (i.e., occur at the same time in the same place within the cell) in prokaryotes, but not in eukaryotes.arrow_forward
- What level of control of gene expression is defined as regulating whether a particular mRNA is actually used in proteins synthesis and if so for how long a period of time transcriptional leve control translational leve control processing level control replication level control denaturation level controlarrow_forwardTranscription and translation are separate processes in gene expression; however, they have similarties. The following terms all relate to translation. Which of these has a role that is most similar to that of the transcription start sit during transcription ? A- Start Codon B- Stop Codon C- tRNA D- Amino Acidarrow_forwardWhich of the following describes transcription factors? The addition or deletion of methyl and acetyl groups to regulate transcription Proteins that specifically bind to promoter or enhancer regions to initiate transcription The transcription initiation sites of DNA that bind RNA polymerase DNA regulatory elements that actively repress the transcription of a gene O Varying sequences that are or are not included in the instructions to make a proteinarrow_forward
- Which of the following characterize RNA polymerase Il transcriptional termination in eukaryotes? Endonuclease cleavage of the RNA transcript and 5' to 3' exonuclease activity a protein known as Ratl None of the provided answers, transcriptional termination occurs in prokaryotes. Recognition of the transcriptional stop codon by a release factor. Hairpin structure formation on the newly synthesized RNA molecule which disrupts the DNA-RNA hybrid at a poly-U RNA sequence Binding of the Rho protein.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT an event associated with translation termination? A stop codon enters the A site on the ribosome. A Release Factor enters the A site A terminal amino acid is added to the polypeptide to signal the end of translation. Release Factor mediates the hydrolysis of the polypeptide from the tRNA at the P site. The polypeptide and tRNA are released and the ribosomal subunits are separated.arrow_forwardWhich method is most likely used to regulate the expression of a gene that is active during embryonic development but then silenced for the rest of the life of the individual? Histone modification Post translational modifications Alternative Splicing Controlling RNA export from the nucleusarrow_forward
