tRNA - a significant tiny RNA molecule involved in protein production
Stop codons - a stop codon, also known as a termination codon, is a codon (nucleotide triplet within
messenger RNA) that informs the current protein's translation to cease
Start codon - the first codon of an mRNA transcript that a ribosome translates
Multiple - consisting of, containing, or involving multiple individuals
Exercise 1 : Check each sentence out. Determine whether it is true or not based on the reading.
Check the relevant box (). If it's false, make it true by changing it. Share your responses with a
partner.
1.
The transcription process is substantially the same in
eukaryotes and prokaryotes.
2.
Transcription takes place in two primary stages: elongation and
termination in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
3.
The DNA double helix must partially unwind in the area
of mRNA synthesis for transcription to take place.
4.
One of the two DNA strands, known as the template strand,
is where transcription always stops.
5.
Transcription is finished once the procedure is terminated.
6.
One of a cell's most energy-intensive metabolic processes is
protein synthesis.
True
