| What is a gene? | A unit of heredity that is transferred from a parent to an offspring and is held to determine some characteristic from the parents.
🗑

| Define Transcription | Transfers the information stored in the coding strand of a gene to a mRNA molecule
🗑

| What specific information is stored in the DNA? | Genetic codes and nucleotide sequences
🗑
|
||||
| What is a promoter? | a sequence in the nucleotide sequence to signal the DNA polymerase to start unwinding.
🗑
|
||||
| What is the TATA box? | Found in the promoter region. Indicates the point at which a genetic sequence can be read and decoded.
🗑
|

| What role does RNA Polymerase II perform in the transcription of a protein coding gene? | Unwinds the double helix and synthesizes a mRNA molecule complementary to the template strand.
🗑
|
||||
| Which molecule is synthesized by RNA Polyermase II? | mRNA
🗑
|
||||
| What are codons? What do they contain? | THREE nucleotide sequence in mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid, a translation start site or a translation stop site.
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
