Which of the following is a correct comparison of transcription and DNA replication? a. DNA replication uses deoxyribonucleotides, while transcription uses ribonucleotides. b. Transcription produces RNAs that never form intrastrand base pairs, while DNA replication always produces base paired DNA. c. A primer is needed for both RNA and DNA polymerases. d. The sequence of the newly synthesized strand is complementary to the template strand and in the opposite 5' to 3' polarity for both DNA replication and transcription. e. Both strands of the DNA double helix serve as templates for both DNA replication and transcription of a gene. Which of the following carbons in the ribose for the adenine ribonucleotide at the branch point for the intron lariat is (are) attached via a phosphodiester bond to another ribonucleotide? a. the 2' carbon b. the 3' carbon c. the 5' carbon d. A and B are both correct answers e. A, B and C are all correct answers.

Which of the following statements is NOT correct about the process of transcription? Group of answer choices A. During transcription the RNA molecule that is synthesized is anti-parallel and complementary to the template DNA strand B. The RNA molecule that is synthesized will have U in place of T C. The start site and direction of transcription are determined by a region of the nontemplate DNA strand known as the promoter D. Transcription of a given gene takes place on only one of the two DNA strands E. During transcription the RNA molecule is synthesized in the 3’ to 5’ direction

Which of the following statements are correct for transcription factor binding to DNA? (no explanation needed) Select one or more: A- Transcription factors can only bind to DNA when they are phosphorylated. B- By analyzing the amino acid sequence of a transcription factor, we can determine which DNA sequence it will bind. C- When transcription factors bind to DNA, specific amino acid side chains form bonds with functional groups of the nucleotide bases in the DNA. D- For transcription factors to bind to DNA, a helicase first needs to unwind the DNA double helix. E- Some transcription factors can have either activatory or suppressive effects, depending on promoter context and binding partners.

Replication A. requires that a phosphodiester bond of the incoming dNTP be hydrolyzed in order to be added to the growing chain. B. uses $5^{\prime}$ to $3^{\prime}$ polymerase activity to synthesize one strand and $3^{\prime}$ to $5^{\prime}$ polymerase activity to synthesize the complementary strand. C. owes its accuracy, in part, to $3^{\prime}$ to $5^{\prime}$ exonucleolytic activity of DNA polymerases or associated proteins. D. begins with two dNTPs joining together. E. requires only proteins with DNA polymerase activity.
