QUESTIONS
Q5.9. Suppose a drug blocked the entry of tRNA molecules into the ribosome. What effect would this drug have on gene expression? There would be no effect, because tRNA is not part of the product of gene expression (ie, is not a polypeptide) Transcription initiation would be blocked, so RNA polymerase would never synthesize RNA O Translation elongation would be blocked, so the cell would be unable to synthesize polypeptides Translation termination would be blocked, so the ribosome would remain attached to the polypeptide Submit
Section 3: Translation Transcription and Translation Explored 21/22 Q3.31. The diagram below shows DNA and mRNA, and the key elements in initiation and termination for both transcription and translation are highlighted. Can you correctly label the diagram?

The first step in gene expression is transcription. Where does transcription start, and what signals it to end?
