Put the following events of transcription in chronological order. Sigma binds to the promoter region. The double helix of DNA is unwound, breaking hydrogen bonds between complementary strands. Sigma binds to RNA polymerase. Sigma is released. Transcription begins.

For each of the following descriptions, please select all of the factors that would apply: Factor(s) that are required to recruit RNA polymerase II to the transcriptional start site in eukaryotes

Low cAMP levels indicate high glucose levels in the cell.

Termination of transcription in prokaryotes involves formation of a hairpin structure in the newly-synthesized mRNA followed by a string of Us.

For each of the following descriptions, please select all of the factors that would apply: Factor that bind to the -35 and -10 promoter sequences to recruit RNA polymerase in prokaryotes

Label the following components on the replication fork:

Eukaryotes can undergo splicing and translation simultaneously.

Scientists learn a lot from mutated versions of proteins.  The phenotype of a mutant can inform them about the normal function of the protein in various processes.  Predict what the consequence of the follow mutations would be: Loss of function mutation in MutS

Gene-specific transcription factors require the mediator complex to interact with RNA polymerase II in the transcription initiation complex in eukaryotes.

Please match the following descriptions with the appropriate term.
