Question

Gene expression is complex, requiring many macromolecules and events. This means....lots of vocabulary terms!!! Complete this matching to show me your mastery of the language. You may want to read the introduction to Lab 15: Gene Expression.

	name of the process my which RNA is made
	name of the enzyme that makes RNA
	direction of RNA synthesis
	where transcription occurs in prokaryots
	where transcription happens in eukaryots
	where RNA polymerase binds in DNA to begin transcritpion
	molecule that serves as a template for protein synthesis
