Any proteins involved in transcribing DNA into RNA (13, 6)
Chromatin that is prevalent in gene rich areas. It is less compact, allowing access for proteins involved in transcription (11)
Consists of a phosphate group, a pentose sugar (either ribose or deoxyribose) and a nitrogenous base. They are bound together by PHOSPHODIESTER LINKAGES at the 3' end (10)
Cytosine, thymine, uracil (11)
Highly condensed region of interphase chromosome. Most abundant in cells which are less active (15)
The enzyme which adds free nucleotides to the strand (3, 10)
The enzyme which adds nucleotides during transcription. It is recruited by the transcription factors surrounding the TATA box. The entire complex is called the pre-initation complex (PIC) (3, 10, 2)
This enzyme breaks the hydrogen bonds between bases of DNA (3, 8)
This enzyme unwinds the tightly wound double helix during DNA replication (13)
This is added during gene transcription (at the elongation phase) to protect the RNA from being degraded (7, 3)
