What does the torpedo model require to remove RNA pol II from the DNA?
an exonuclease
This protein complex facilitates interactions with RNA pol II and regulatory transcription factors
The mediator
Open complex
This uncommon method of RNA modification occurs when a base sequence of an RNA molecule is changed
RNA editing
What does this codon code for? 5'-CAU-3'
HIS
(histidine)
What enzyme breaks the phosphodiester bond between nucleotides at the END of a strand of tRNA?
Exonuclease
What did Beadle and Tatum use to break the protein coding genes in DNA?
X-ray
If a rut site is mutated and loses it's function, what will happen to the mRNA?
The ρ protein will not bind, and transcription will not be terminated
This is what it is called when a 7-methylguanosine is added to the 5' end of the pre-mRNA
5' capping
The amino acid is attached to the tRNA at what structure?
The Acceptor Stem
30S+50S
What is the difference between a protein and a polypeptide?
A polypeptide is a string of linear amino acids, whereas a protein is a string of covalently bonded amino acids that are FOLDED into a specific shape.

What is the order of the sites that the mRNA goes through in ribosomes?
1. A site (aminoacyl site)
2. P site (peptidyl site)
3. E site (exit site)
