Transciption- Basic

Question 1

Requires?

Answer 1

1. Template strand/ non-coding strand
   - > px complementary RNA
2. RNA polymerase
   -> catalyses the linking of free ribonucleotides;
   => RNA molecule
3. Free ribonucleotides triphosphate
4. TF

Question 2

Transcription is?

Answer 2

Transfer of information from DNA to RNA;

Synthesis of a ssRNA that is complementary to the base seq of template DNA

Question 3

Three stages

Answer 3

Initiation

Elongation

Termination

Question 4

How to spend up transcription

Answer 4

Multiple RNA polymerase

->increase speed of RNA production;

Higher translation rate as more RNA are synthesized

Question 5

Comparing transcription with other processes, what are the points of comparison

Answer 5

1. Enzymes
2. Raw materials
3. End pdts
4. Specific period of occurrence
   - > S phase at DNA replication
5. Ref to process
