What occurs during the process of transcription?

Answer 1

The genetic information stored in DNA is transcribed into messenger Rna that is then transported to the cytoplasmic Ribosomes for translation.

Answer 2

Transcription is the first stage in the overall process of protein synthesis. Transcription, in basic terms, is the process of creating messenger RNA from a complementary DNA strand, or DNA template. The first step in this stage of transcription is to untwist and split a section of DNA in half. The DNA is separated at the hydrogen bonds. Once the DNA is separated, the enzyme RNA polymerase moves along the DNA strand and makes the complementary RNA strand. The DNA acts as a template for the RNA:

Step 1 in Transcription:

DNA untwists and splits.

A --- T ______________A --- T

C --- G _____________ C --- G

G --- C ____________> G --- C

C --- G _____________ C --- G

T --- A ______________T --- A

C --- G _____________ C --- G

Step 2 in Transcription:

An enzyme (called RNA polymerase) chooses a strand of the DNA to work with. It goes along that strand and makes a strand of a special type of RNA, called messenger RNA (mRNA). It makes this strand of RNA by constructing the complementary of the DNA. Complementary means finding the bases on one side given the bases on the other side.

DNA

chosen

side

A --U

C --G

G --C __________________ RNA polymerase heads in and makes

C --G < the base pairs for a strand of mRNA.

T --A In RNA, thymine (T) is replaced with

C --G uracil (U). This occurs due to to the type of sugar in RNA and chemical bonds.

The U, G, C, G, A, G is the mRNA strand. Transcription is now over and the mRNA goes to the ribosome.

Answer 3

transcription is the process which your DNA serves as a template to produce single stranded mRNA. An enzyme (RNA polymerase) slides down the DNA template (after the opening, and in part assisting, of the DNA double helix) and catalyzes the the polymerization of this RNA molecule. The code of the resulting mRNA is a direct result of the sequence of DNA because As and Ts (U's) match up as do Gs and Cs.

Translation is the process where your mRNA floats out the nucleus, slides into the ribosomal complex in the cytoplasm, and "translates" the nucleotide code within mRNA to the amino acid code. Every 3 nucleotides in this mRNA "code" for a specific amino acid, at which point a peptide bond is joined between amino acids to produce a polypeptide or protein. Translation is therefore the process by which mRNA codes for protein.

Answer 4

1st step of the central dogma involve the synthesis of mRNA from DNA

Transcription- DNA code is transferred to mRNA then mRNA can take the code into the cytoplasm for proteins synthesis

A molecule of RNA is formed based on the sequence of nucleotides in DNA (mastering Biology)

Answer 5

Transcription is the first step of gene expression, in which a particular segment of DNA is copied into RNA (mRNA) by the enzyme RNA polymerase. Both RNA and DNA are nucleic acids, which use base pairs of nucleotides as a complementary language

Answer 6

the first step of transcription is ... i forgot lol

Answer 7

RNA polymerase binds to DNA and separates the DNA strands. RNA polymerase then uses one strands of DNA as a template from which nucleotides are assembled into a strands of RNA

Answer 8

A gene sequence is transcribed onto an mRNA molecule which travels out to a ribosome and is then translated into an peptide chain. So first comes transcription followed by translation.
