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.

Site where translation takes place.

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

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.

The process through which information encoded in messenger RNA (mRNA) directs the addition of amino acids during protein synthesis.

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

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

________________ 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).

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

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 ________.
