What is the process by which genetic information encoded in DNA is copied into a complementary RNA molecule?
Which enzyme is responsible for catalyzing the transcription of DNA into RNA?
What is the name of the RNA molecule that is synthesized during transcription and serves as a template for protein synthesis?
What is the process by which the genetic information encoded in mRNA is converted into a protein?
Which cellular structure is responsible for carrying out translation?
What is the name of the molecule that carries amino acids to the ribosome during translation?
What is the sequence of three nucleotides on mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid?
What is the process by which certain regions of a pre-mRNA molecule are removed and the remaining regions are joined together to form a mature mRNA molecule?
What is the name of the enzyme that catalyzes the splicing of pre-mRNA?
What is the process by which gene expression is regulated to ensure that the right genes are expressed at the right time and in the right amount?
What is the name of the region of DNA that controls the transcription of a gene?
