During transcription, a portion of the double helix unwinds, exposing a sequence of genetic information. Then the enzyme RNA polymerase binds to the exposed bases. It moves along one strand, pairing complementary bases and joining them to build a strand of RNA. RNA contians four bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

∙ 15y agoMessenger RNA (mRNA) is formed on the template strand (nonsense strand) of a gene. Messenger RNA is a relatively short-lived compound, which conveys genetic information from a segment of DNA to the cytoplasm, where this information is translated into a polypeptide.
Other RNA molecules are gene products, such as transferRNA (tRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and various smallRNA molecules such as small nuclear and small nucleolar RNA.
These are all formed directly from DNA by a process similar to transcription, involving complementary base pairing. Some of the genes that code for rRNA molecules are gathered in a region of the nucleus called the nucleolus.

What word inject DNA or RNA into the nucleus of a cell to reproduce?
DNA or RNA
What are two types of nucleic acid found the cell?
Deoxy-ribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA)
What is the job of the ribosmes job in the plant cell?
Ribosmes are what make the protiens for the cell the DNA or Rna to be made
Process in the cell nucleus where enzymes make an RNA copy of a DNA?
DNA transcription
Give the composition location and function of DNA and RNA in the cell?
RNA cells The RNA cells are in the nucleolus. RNA cells stores and transfers information that is needed for the making of proteins. DNA cells They are found in the Nucleus. The DNA cells are the most important element in the cell, all the living organisms use DNA to keep the information. The DNA cells keeps the information and characteristics of Cell. DNA cells uses this information to make the proteins or RNA the cell needs. It also provides the information needed to make a new living cell. The DNA is the most important thing in the cell, all the living organisms use DNA to keep the information; its like a computer. DNA and RNA can also be found in mitochondria also. composition of DNA and RNA is they consists of large number of purine and pyramidine bases, a phosphate group and sugar , which codes for certain proteins. Difference between RNA and DNA is they differ with one oxygen. ( DNA - deoxy ribo nuclic acid, RNA - ribo nuclic acid ). DNA is a genetic material for most of the organisms but RNA acts as a genetic material for some organisms such as HUman Immuno Virus where dNA is absent.
What word inject DNA or RNA into the nucleus of a cell to reproduce?
DNA or RNA
What does a virus contain to make new viruses?
They have genetic materials. They have DNA or RNA
Where is the process of making RNA from DNA Located in the cell?
Transcription (DNA -> RNA) happens in the nucleus where RNA polymerase makes single-stranded RNA from a template DNA strand.
What are two types of nucleic acid found the cell?
Deoxy-ribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA)
What is the process of in the cell where enzymes make a RNA copy of a DNA strand?
Transcription
What does a cell and virus have in common?
What a cell and a virus have in common is the RNA or DNA. The virus can be either a RNA virus or a DNA virus.
What can you conclude about DNA and RNA from the fact that they are like cell brain?
What can you conclude about DNA and RNA from the fact that they are like a cell's "brain?"
What is the job of the ribosmes job in the plant cell?
Ribosmes are what make the protiens for the cell the DNA or Rna to be made

Are DNA and RNA neurotransmitters?
No. Neurotransmitters are located in the brain. DNA & RNA are related to cell information and replication.
What is the process making RNA to DNA?
It is called reverse-transcription but the RNA is viral RNA and it infects the cell when it reverses to DNA.
