10 Questions
What is a cell and why is it considered the building block of life?
A cell is the smallest unit of life that is classified as a living thing. It is considered the building block of life because all living organisms are made up of cells.
What are the two reasons for differentiating between unicellular and multicellular organisms?
The two reasons are the presence or absence of membrane-bound organelles and the number of cells.
Which type of organisms possess membrane-bound organelles?
Eukaryotes, such as animals, plants, and fungi, possess membrane-bound organelles.
Are yeast unicellular or multicellular?
Yeast can exist in both unicellular and multicellular forms.
What important discovery about cells was made in 1665?
The important discovery was that cells are the smallest structural units of life, made by Robert Hooke.
What is the process of transcription?
Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA.
What are the two types of RNA molecules produced during transcription?
The two types of RNA molecules produced during transcription are messenger RNA (mRNA) and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs).
What percentage of total RNA samples does mRNA comprise?
mRNA comprises only 1-3% of total RNA samples.
What percentage of the human genome can be transcribed into mRNA?
Less than 2% of the human genome can be transcribed into mRNA.
What is the role of RNA polymerase during transcription?
During transcription, RNA polymerase reads a DNA sequence and produces a complementary RNA strand called a primary transcript.
