RNA Transcription
Prerequisite Material
Which of the following statements about RNA biosynthesis is correct?
a. A DNA template is not required for RNA biosynthesis in eukaryotes
b. In eukaryotes, a single type of RNA polymerase makes rRNA, mRNA and tRNA
c. RNA biosynthesis proceeds in a 3'-5' direction
d. RNA polymerase can initiate transcription anywhere along the DNA double helix
e. UTP is a substrate for RNA polymerase
Using the table below, determine which of the following displays a correct match among the DNA template strand, mrNA, and protein. (Note: Both DNA template strand and mRNA are give in a 5'-3' direction - you may use a table of the genetic code if you would like.)
a. Row A
b. Row B
c. Row C
d. Row D
e. Row E
