Best Answer

The turns are formed from complementary base pairing and cause separation of the RNA transcript and RNA polymerase.

How does transcription end?

Transcription ends once the a termination sequence is reached. The sequence depends on which polymerase is being used and if the organism is a eukaryote or prokaryote. In Eukaryotes when RNA polymerase 1 is used the termination sequence is an 18 nucleotide long sequence. For RNA polymerase 3 the termination sequence is a short sequence of Uricils but the hairpin loop is not formed as it is in prokaryotes. For RNA polymerase 2 transcription is terminated and cleavage takes place 10-35 nucleotides downstream of the AAUAA sequence. For prokaryotes, termination can occur 2 ways. Termination can occur once the termination sequence is reached or using a protein called Rho factor. For termination without Rho factor, the termination sequence is short and rich in Guanines and Cytosines followed by many Uricils in a row. A-U bonds are weaker than G-C bonds, the string of U-A bonds are easily broken and release the RNA strand Using a Rho factor, once the Terminal sequence is reached, the Rho factor binds to a sequence 50-90 bases long and unwinds the DNA from the RNA , moving towards the 3' end, releasing the RNA


What amino acid is UAG?

UAG in RNA is amber. In RNA it is a stop codon which is a nucleotide triplet within messenger RNA that signals a termination of translation.

What processes use RNA?

There are three stages where RNA transcription occurs. They are initiation, chain elongation, and termination. All are very important in the cell.

Describe the difference between a termination signal and a stop codon?

Termination signal is at the end of the part of the chromosome being transcribed during transcription of mRNA. While in a stop codon, also called termination codon, is a nucleotide triplet within messenger RNA that signals a termination of translation.


What do all forms of RNA have in common?

They are all RNA related.


What is signal termination?

RNA polymerase blinds to the first DNA nucleotide and begins pairing complementary base and continues down the DNA until reached a point called the Termination Single
