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 FALSE about transcription in prokaryotes? a. Translation of mRNA can begin as transcription of the same mRNA piece is still occurring. b. Modifications must occur to the mRNA transcript prior to translation. c. Ribosomes can bind to mRNA as it is being transcribed. d. mRNA transcripts only code for one specific protein. e. b and d only.

Which of the following is not true of post-transcriptional modifications made to mRNA? Select one: a. Polyadenylation of mRNA occurs in the cytoplasm just before the transcript associates with a ribosome b. Introns are excised as they emerge from RNA polymerase II exit channel c. mRNA splicing is catalyzed by spliceosomes that are directly associated with the tail of RNA Polymerase II d. Depending on specific snRNPs present, mRNA splicing can result in proteins of different sizes from the same mRNA. e. Nucleotides and modified nucleotides are added to the 3’ and 5’ ends of mRNA, respectively.
