Which of the following are TRUE about transcription? (Select all that apply) A. Polymerizes A, G, C, and U ribonucleotides to form the pre-mRNA before splicing B. Makes an RNA strand that is complementary to a DNA strand C. Produces a polyadenine tail on the 3' end of the pre-mRNA D. Requires an RNA polymerase to bind to the promoter for initiation E. Can start in the absence of transcription factors if the DNA structure is open as euchromatin

Step 1
True. During transcription, RNA polymerase polymerizes A, G, C, and U ribonucleotides to form the pre-mRNA before splicing. B. True. Transcription makes an RNA strand that is complementary to a DNA strand. Show more…

Which of the following is NOT true of transcription / translation processes in both bacteria and eukaryotes? Select one: a. Translation of a polypeptide can occur before transcription of the mRNA is finished. b. Polypeptide chains are formed by linking amino acids according to the sequence encoded by the mRNA associated with a ribosome. c. RNA polymerase reads the template DNA strand to produce the complementary mRNA transcript. d. protein is encoded by the "genetic code", with amino acids specified by codons ("words" made of 3 bases).

Which of the following is NOT true about poly-A tails? a. They are made by RNA polymerase II; each gene has a long stretch of T's that marks its end. b. They are added to the RNA transcript in the nucleus. c. They protect mRNA from degrading. d. They are found at the $3^{\prime}$ end of eukaryotic mRNA.
