10 Questions
Which RNA polymerase is responsible for producing mRNA in eukaryotes?
RNA polymerase II
What is an operon prediction tool used for in prokaryotes?
Identifying whether two adjacent genes belong to the same operon
What is the difference between monocistronic RNA and polycistronic RNA in prokaryotes?
Monocistronic RNA is controlled by one promoter, while polycistronic RNA is controlled by many promoters
What are the three different RNA polymerases responsible for transcription in eukaryotes?
RNA polymerase I, II, and III
What are the three parts of the eukaryotic promoter?
Core, proximal, and distal
What is the consensus sequence of the TATA box located at the transcription start site?
TATAAA
What is the length of the core promoter and what elements does it contain?
35 bp, TATA box, Inr element, and DPE
What is the Kozak sequence and what is its significance in translation initiation site prediction?
A sequence of nucleotides that identifies the translation start site
What is the proximal promoter and what elements does it contain?
250 bp long, contains TATA box and Inr element
What is the purpose of using multiple promoter prediction algorithms?
To compare the output of different programs and find the common predicted elements
