The process of making RNA from DNA, a crucial first step in gene expression.

The molecule transcribed from DNA, carrying genetic information to be translated into a protein.

A segment of DNA that contains the genetic instructions for building a specific protein, serving as the template for transcription.

A specific DNA sequence near the beginning of a gene, telling RNA polymerase where to start transcribing.

A specific DNA sequence at the end of a gene, signaling RNA polymerase to stop transcription.

The enzyme responsible for catalyzing the synthesis of RNA from a DNA template.

A detachable subunit of bacterial RNA polymerase that helps the enzyme locate promoters, making it efficient at finding the start of genes.

The process where the RNA polymerase opens up the DNA double helix to access the template strand.

The process of adding ribonucleotides one by one to the growing RNA molecule, creating a complementary copy of the DNA template.

A special structure formed by the newly synthesized RNA transcript, which helps terminate transcription in bacteria, sometimes likened to a 'hairpin' structure.

The final, newly synthesized RNA molecule produced after transcription is complete.

The type of RNA that carries the genetic code from DNA to the ribosomes for protein synthesis.

RNA molecules that make up the structural core of ribosomes, the protein-making machinery of the cell.

Small RNA molecules that act as adaptors, bringing amino acids to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

The process of translating the genetic code carried by mRNA into a sequence of amino acids, forming a protein.

A complete set of genetic instructions in an organism or cell, encompassing all its DNA.

The process of copying DNA into a new strand of DNA, ensuring that genetic information is passed on accurately during cell division.

The specific region of a chromosome where DNA replication starts.

The enzyme that catalyzes DNA replication, adding nucleotides to a new DNA strand, using an existing strand as a template.

A short stretch of RNA that provides a starting point for DNA polymerase to begin DNA replication.

The process of copying DNA into RNA, the first step in gene expression, where RNA polymerase synthesizes a molecule of RNA using a DNA template.

The process of translating the genetic code carried by mRNA into a sequence of amino acids, forming a protein, which is the final product of gene expression.

A molecule that binds to DNA and influences the rate of transcription, regulating gene expression.

A group of genes that are transcribed together as a single unit, often found in bacteria.

The process of decoding the genetic code carried by mRNA into a sequence of amino acids, forming a protein, which is the final product of gene expression.

A set of three consecutive nucleotides in mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid during protein synthesis.

The process by which a single gene can produce multiple proteins.

A specific region of the DNA sequence that controls whether a gene is expressed or not.
