Definition
Prokaryotes
Term
In eukaryores mRNA is sent to the BLANK where it will be translated into protien
Definition
the ER
Term
Four nucleoside triphosphates
Definition
ATP, GTP, CTP AND UTP
Term
Is a primer needed in RNA synthesis?
Definition
No
Term
Subunits of DNA-dependent RNA Polymerase
Definition
alpha, beta, beta prime, omega, and sigma
Term
Role of sigma in RNA Polymerase
Definition
Recognizes promoter and makes sure only one strand is transcribed
Term
(Prokaryotes/Eukaryotes) have more than one subunit so the RNA polymerase can detect different promoters
