Full Description
This exam evaluates the theoretical principles governing gene expression, specifically the processes of transcription and translation. Key focus areas include RNA polymerase function, transcription factors, and the genetic code.
These processes are vital for cellular function and organismal development, influencing everything from metabolic pathways to the synthesis of structural proteins. Understanding these mechanisms is critical in fields like genetics and biotechnology.
The exam tests the student’s ability to articulate the processes and regulation of transcription and translation, while also examining the interplay of various molecular components.
Candidates may discuss the implications of transcriptional regulation in disease contexts and the potential for therapeutic interventions.
Sample Questions
- What are the main steps in the transcription process and the role of transcription factors?
- How is the genetic code translated into amino acid sequences during protein synthesis?
