Gene expression involves two phases, ___________ and translation.

Which molecule combines with proteins to form both the large and small ribosomal subunits?

In eukaryotes, pre-mRNA processing may involve all of the following except

During translation, amino acids are carried to the ribosome by

The sequence of nucleotides in a DNA molecule is called the ________ code.

DNA affects the traits of an organism by providing the instructions for synthesizing _______.

Although 61 different codons code for amino acids, cells contain fewer than 61 different tRNAs.Why?

During translation, uncharged tRNA molecules leave the ribosome from the _________ site.

To begin transcription, RNA polymerase must bind to a segment of DNA called the ____.

A bacterial cell has a nonsense mutation that prevents it from producing a functional sigma subunit for RNA polymerase.Inability to synthesize a functional sigma subunit would have the most direct effect on

Messenger RNA molecules contain information that is used to synthesize ___________.
