- How histone and micro RNA controls gene expressionarrow_forwardThe relationship between the nucleotide sequence of an mRNA and the DNA strand from which it is transcribed. Messenger RNAs are synthesized by RNA polymerases that read along a DNA template strand in the 3'→5' direction, polymerizing ribonucleotides in the 5'→3' direction. Give the nucleotide sequence (5'→3') of the DNA template strand from which the following mRNA segment was transcribed: 5'-UAG UGA CAG UUG CGAU-3’arrow_forwardIn Eukaryotes,How the Nuclear MembranePrevents the Coupling of Transcriptionand Translationarrow_forward

- Briefly explain why each of the following statements is false, or reword it to make it true10. A gene can be transcribed by only one RNA polymerase at a time.arrow_forwardWhich process of gene regulation specifically effects the activity of a protein? DNA replication DNA transcription Post-translational modifications RNA processingarrow_forwardWhat is degeneracy of genetic code, why it happens and explain its significance. Explain how it shield against the effects of point mutations.arrow_forward
- The three stages of transcription (initiation, elongation, and termination) – with a focus on how RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) relates to these stages. The final product of transcriptionarrow_forwardBriefly present and explain why transcribed RNA is complementary to one strand of DNA.arrow_forwardPosttranslational modification of proteins,where it occurs, and how new proteinsdestined for extracellular use are packagedand released from a cellarrow_forward
