Select ALL of the following that are not the process where you go from DNA to mRNA.

What happens during transcription?

Complete the following transcription process from DNA to mRNA.  (No space between your letters)

A   T   C   C   G   T   A   G   G

Explain in DETAIL why it is important that RNA is single stranded?

What enzyme is used to synthesize mRNA molecules in the 5′ to 3′ direction reading the template DNA strand in the 3′ to 5′ direction?

Genetic information flows from a sequence of                                     in            to a sequence of bases in an                    molecule to a sequence of                                      in a                                .

rRNA molecules are functional building blocks of

Select ALL of the following names that the template strand of DNA used for transcription is also called.  (3 choices)

During translation, distinct                 molecules bind specific                                        and have                                 sequences that base pair with the mRNA.

Explain in DETAIL why the process of transcription is so important for protein synthesis.
