For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What is a template strand?
What is a promoter?
What is a transcription unit?
What happens in initiation of transcription?
than a transcription initiation complexs is formed.
What happens in elongation of the RNA strand?
•As RNA polymerase moves along the DNA, it untwists the double helix, 10 to 20 bases at a time
•Transcription progresses at a rate of 40 nucleotides per second in eukaryotes
•A gene can be transcribed simultaneously by several RNA polymerases •Nucleotides are added to the 3¢ end of the growing RNA molecule
What happen at the termination of transcription?
•In bacteria, the polymerase stops transcription at the end of the terminator and the mRNA can be translated without further modification •In eukaryotes, RNA polymerase II transcribes the polyadenylation signal sequence; the RNA transcript is released 10–35 nucleotides past this polyadenylation sequence
In which particular way is each end of a pre-mRNA molecule modified?
–The 3' end gets a poly-A tail
Which functions do pre-mRNA modifications (alteration) share?
–They seem to facilitate the export of mRNA to the cytoplasm
–They protect mRNA from hydrolytic enzymes –They help ribosomes attach to the 5' end
What are interons (or intervening sequences)?
What kind of molecule helps a cell translates an mRNA message into a protein?
Why is a molecule of tRNA not identical?
–Each carries a specific amino acid on one end –Each has an anticodon on the other end; the anticodon base-pairs with a complementary codon on mRNA
Which two steps requires accurate translation?
2. a correct match between the tRNA anticodon and an mRNA codon.
What three binding sites for tRNA has a ribosome, and which function has these sites?
- the A site holds the tRNA that carries the next amino acid to be added tot the chain.
- the E site is the exit site, where discharged tRNAs leave the ribosome.
What happens in the initiation stage?
a small subunit moves along the mRNA until it reaches the start codon (AUG).
What happens during the elongation stage?
•Each addition involves proteins called elongation factors and occurs in three steps: codon recognition, peptide bond formation, and translocation
•Translation proceeds along the mRNA in a 5′ to 3′ direction
What happens during the termination stage?
•Termination occurs when a stop codon in the mRNA reaches the A site of the ribosome
•The A site accepts a protein called a release factor
•The release factor causes the addition of a water molecule instead of an amino acid •This reaction releases the polypeptide, and the translation assembly then comes apart
What is a polyribosome?
polyribosomes enable a cell to make many copies of a polypeptide very quickly.
In which two categories can a point mutations within a gene be divided?
one or more nucleotide-pair insertions or deletions.
What effect has a silent mutation?
What is an inserion and deletion?
What effect does an isertion and deletion have?
