RNA it may look like DNA but it is not the same very similar but do not get them mixed up


How does DNA encode and transmit genetic information How is it replicated and expressed?

Replication, in which new copies of DNA are made; transcription, in which a segment of DNA is used to produce RNA; and translation, in which the information in RNA is translated into a protein sequence.


What best describes the product of transcription?

Transcription is the second part of the Central Dogma of biology: DNA to RNA to Protein. At the end of transcription, there is an RNA copy of the DNA segment that has been spliced so that it only contains the coding sequences for the gene. That is then exported for translation. This segment, the direct project of transcription is messenger RNA or mRNA.


What is the template used in transcription?

The template used in transcription is the DNA molecule. During transcription, a segment of DNA is copied into a complementary RNA sequence by RNA polymerase. This RNA molecule serves as a template for protein synthesis during translation.


What is the correct order dna-RNA-protein or dna-protein-RNA or RNA-protein-dna?

It's DNA - RNA - protein. DNA encoding a gene is transcribed to mRNA or messenger RNA by RNA polymerase. The RNA is then translated into a protein sequences at the ribosome. tRNA's or transfer RNA's act like a dictionary for the translation. They can recognize a code of three nucleotides (a codon) in the RNA and bring the corresponding amino acid to the right place at the ribosome, where it is ligated to the rest of the protein. A protein is a chain of amino acids. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_dogma

What is a gene in its simplest form?

A gene is a segment of DNA that contains the instructions for making a specific protein or RNA molecule. It serves as the basic unit of heredity and is responsible for determining traits and characteristics in an organism.


What is a segment of DNA that can be translated?

A segment of DNA that can be translated is known as a coding region or an open reading frame (ORF). This segment contains the necessary information to produce a specific protein through the processes of transcription and translation. It is typically defined by the presence of start and stop codons that signal the beginning and end of the protein-coding sequence. The corresponding RNA produced from this DNA segment is then translated into an amino acid sequence, forming the protein.


What is located on the messenger RNA molecule?

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a carrier of information- specifically, a single-stranded complement to a segment of DNA copied to produce a protein for some purpose that is sent to the ribosomes for translation into the needed protein.


What is the copy of the DNA segment?

The copy of a DNA segment refers to the process of transcription, where a specific segment of DNA is used as a template to synthesize a complementary RNA strand. This RNA copy, known as messenger RNA (mRNA), carries the genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm, where it guides protein synthesis. In some contexts, the term may also refer to the replication of DNA, where the entire DNA molecule is duplicated to ensure that each new cell receives an identical copy during cell division.
