RNA transcription Mark as: None Homework * Unanswered * Due Today, 11:59 PM U ribozymes are not made up of proteins, but of RNA. What is their function? Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a They are responsible for transcription initiation. b They recognize GU-AG regions containing introns and help them them out of a eukaryotic transcript. C They recognize AG-GU regions containing exons and help them them out of a prokaryotic transcript since the do not code for anything. d They are responsible for transcription termination.

Activated form of an amino acid, used in protein synthesis, consisting of an amino acid linked via high-energy ester bond to the 3'-hydroxyl group of RNA molecule. Proteins required to initiate protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells. Association of two complementary nucleic acid strands to form double-stranded molecules, which can contain two DNA strands, two RNA strands, or one DNA and one RNA strand. Used experimentally in various ways to detect specific DNA or RNA sequences. An enzyme that copies one strand of DNA (the template strand) to make the complementary RNA strand using ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates. Chemical linkage between adjacent nucleotides in DNA and RNA; consists of two ester linkages, one on the side of the sugar and another on the side of the following sugar. Added to the nascent RNA chain as it emerges from the surface of RNA polymerase is 7-methylguanylate that is connected to the terminal nucleotide of the RNA by an unusual 5',5' triphosphate linkage. One of the two daughter DNA strands formed at the replication fork by continuous synthesis in the 5' direction. The direction of synthesis on this strand is the same as the movement of the replication fork. A short nucleic acid sequence containing a free 3'-hydroxyl group that forms base pairs with the complementary template strand and functions as the starting point for the addition of nucleotides to copy the template strand. DNA sequence that determines the site of transcription initiation for an RNA polymerase. This type of reaction makes RNA strands more prone to splitting than DNA strands are. Any enzyme that moves along DNA duplex using the energy released by ATP hydrolysis to separate (unwind) the two strands; required for DNA replication. A class of nitrogenous compounds containing two fused heterocyclic rings.
