Transcription Factors def proteins that assist in the recognition of/regulation of gene expression
What are the 2 basic regions of a gene? the coding region and regulating region
Promoter function helps begin transcription
Termination def happens when there's a sequence in DNA that tells it to stop
How is RNA modified? (what is added?) 5' cap, 3' poly A tail (these help interactions with the ribosome)
How does RNA move from the nucleus to the cytoplasm? It must bind to proteins (highly regulated)
