Two biology questions on transciption and RNA processing?

Question

1. During transcription in eukaryotes, a type of RNA polymerase called RNA polymerase II moves along the template strand of the DNA in the 3'→5' direction. However, for any given gene, either strand of the double-stranded DNA may function as the template strand. Which of the following initially determines which DNA strand is the template strand, and therefore in which direction RNA polymerase II moves along the DNA?
a.) the specific sequence of bases along the DNA strands
b.) the location along the chromosome where the double-stranded DNA unwinds
c.) the position of the gene’s promoter on the chromosome
d.) which of the two strands of DNA carries the RNA primer
e.) the location of specific proteins (transcription factors) that bind to the DNA

2. Sequence the steps of transcription and RNA processing by dragging the labels to their correct locations in the flowchart.
-RNA polymerase II binds to promoter
-transciption is terminated
-introns are removed
-5' cap is added
-transctiption is initied
-3' poly-A tail is added
-mRNA exits nucleus

Thank you!

Answer 1

1) A

2)

-RNA polymerase II binds to promoter

-transciption is terminated

-5' cap is added

-introns are removed

-transciption is terminated

-3' poly-A tail is added

-mRNA exits nucleus

Answer 2

1. A.) the specific sequence of bases along the DNA strands



2. ORDER:

-RNA polymerase II binds to promoter

-transcription is initiated

-5' cap is added

-introns are removed

-transcription is terminated

-3' poly-A tail is added

-mRNA exits nucleus

Answer 3

the specific sequence of bases along the DNA strands



1) RNA polymerase II binds to promoter

2) transctiption is initied

3) transciption is terminated

4) -5' cap is added

5) 3' poly-A tail is added

6) -mRNA exits nucleus

7) introns are removed

Answer 4

You wouldnt happen to go to UVM would you?
