8. Key terms check
Which key term matches this definition?
prokaryotic RNA polymerase consisting of α, α, β, and β' but missing σ; this complex performs elongation
9. Key terms check
Which key term matches this definition?
(of the genetic code) describes that a given amino acid can be encoded by more than one nucleotide triplet; the code is degenerate, but not ambiguous
10. Key terms check
Which key term matches this definition?
nucleotides following the initiation site in the direction of mRNA transcription; in general, sequences that are toward the 3' end relative to a site on the mRNA
11. Key terms check
Which key term matches this definition?
sequence present in protein-coding mRNA after completion of pre-mRNA splicing
