Write True if the statement is true. If the statement is false, change the underlined word or words to make the
statement true
1. DNA contains the sugar ribose.
2. Messenger RNA carries copies of the instructions for making proteins from DNA to other
parts of the cell.
3. RNA polymerase transfers amino acids to ribosomes.
4. The process of transcription produces a complementary strand of RNA on a DNA template.
5. The enzyme that assembles a complementary strand of RNA on a DNA template is RNA
polymerase.
6. The region of DNA where the production of an RNA strand begins is called the intron.
7. Exons are spliced together in forming messenger RNA.

Complete each statement by writing the correct word or words
17. A group of genes that are regulated together is called a(n) ________________
.
18. A region of DNA where a repressor can bind is a(n)
.
19. Master control genes, called__________________ genes, regulate organs that develop in specific parts of the body.
20. First write the complementary strand for DNA; then from the original DNA strand transcribe the messenger RNA
strand; then translate the transfer RNA anti-codon, and read the amino acid off of the chart using the messenger RNA
strand. Confused …. I’ve done the first one for you…. See if you can figure it out.
