The information in a strand of DNA is copied into a new molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA) stops when the complex reaches the ______________.

During _________, ribosomal subunits assemble together like a sandwich on the strand of mRNA, where they proceed to attract tRNA molecules tethered to amino acids (circles).

It precisely removes introns from pre-mRNA to generate mature messages (mRNA), a process referred to as pre-mRNA splicing.

The A site in translation _____________ an incoming tRNA bound to an amino acid.

________________ is the main transcription enzyme. Transcription begins when RNA polymerase binds to a promoter sequence near the beginning of a gene (directly or through helper proteins).

The process of making an RNA copy of a gene's DNA sequence. This copy, called messenger RNA (mRNA), carries the gene's protein information encoded in DNA.

The process of Transcription takes place in the cytoplasm in prokaryotes and in ________________ in eukaryotes.

The sequence of DNA present in mature messenger RNA, some of which encodes the amino acids of a protein.

TRUE or FALSE: RNA polymerase begins mRNA synthesis by matching complementary bases to the original DNA strand.

The codon AUG is called the ________ codon as it the first codon in the transcribed mRNA that undergoes translation.

The product of translation is _____. The translation is a process in which the genetic information contained in an mRNA is decoded into a specific sequence of amino acids to produce polypeptides or ________.

They carry amino acids to the ribosome. They act as "bridges," matching a codon in an mRNA with the amino acid it codes for.

A region of DNA upstream of a gene where relevant proteins (such as RNA polymerase and transcription factors) bind to initiate transcription of that gene.
