Question

define these words

Terminator sequence

Primer

Overlapping genes

Cistron

Cap snatching

Alternate splicing

Answer 1

Terminator sequence is end of a gene or operon. It is responsible for termination of translation
and transcription.

Primer is a short sequence of RNA or DNA which helps in initiating DNA replication or DN
transcription.

Overlapping genes are the genes which have overlapping nucleotide equences.

Cistron is a another name of gene, which usually codes for single polypeptide.

Cap snatching is a process in which mRNA is cleaved few nucleotides after 5' cap.

Differential splicing, is a process in which single gene is processed to produce multiple proteins
