What is synthesized by RNA polymerase?
Polymerases are the enzymes that replicate and build nucleic acids. DNA polymerases synthesize DNA, RNA polymerases synthesize RNA. Purified polymerases are essential to carrying out the PCR reaction.
What is Teminism?
In 1963 Temin(name of the scientist) reported the theory in which certain RNA tumor viruses synthesize DNA, which in turn codes for protein. It is the process of formation of an intermidiate DNA on the body of a RNA inside the host cell to produce RNA of its own kind. Generally the process is going on in the body of genetic RNA found in some virus. The intermediate DNA is produce out , as the RNA do not have the capability to synthesize of its daughter RNA. the RNA is always synthesize out from DNA. It is somehow reverse of central dogma.
Cells store genetic information in DNA. That genetic information is used to synthesize .?
cells store genetic information in dna. that genetic information is used to synthesize
When the information from DNA is passed to RNA this process?
The process is called transcription. RNA polymerase enzyme will synthesize RNA (mRNA) from DNA sequences and this is the first step in gene expression.
What is a polymerase commonly used for?
Polymerase are best know for their role in DNA and RNA replication. The polymerase reads the DNA or RNA strand as a template to synthesize a new strand.
Why does a virus not have both DNA and RNA?
Because it doesn't use it's DNA or RNA to function, it uses it to inject into a cell and switch the cell's instructions to its own so the cell will make more viruses. Cells have DNA and RNA to tell the cell what to do, but viruses just do it naturally. Viruses have no use for both.
Why is RNA primase not DNA primase?
RNA primer is a short strand of RNA that is synthesized along single-stranded DNA during replication, initiating DNA polymerase-catalyzed synthesis of the complementary strand. RNA primase is the enzyme that synthesize the RNA primer.
What is mRNA and why is it used instead of another DNA strand?
The mRNA is formed on DNA strand after transcription to carry the specific message to synthesize proteins by ribosomes in the cytoplasm. Since RNA can move from nucleus to the cytoplasm (not DNA), mRNA is used for sending messages to synthesize specific proteins.
The aids virus a retrovirus uses what to read RNA and synthesize the corresponding DNA?
An enzyme called Reverse transcriptase.
Retroviruses such as HIV contains what enzyme that enables DNA to be synthesized from rna?
by using reverse transcriptase to help produce double stranded DNA from viral RNA
What are Retro Viruses?
Retroviruses are RNA viruses. Once they infect a living cell, they synthesize a complementary DNA strand (cDNA) of this RNA molecule using the enzyme REVERSE TRANSCRIPTASE (basically RNA dependent DNA polymerase). The enzyme reverse transcriptase is coded by the viral genome itself and not the host's. The infecting virus carries an already synthesized enzyme. The RNA molecule in this RNA-DNA hybrid is then degraded. The DNA molecule then uses the host polymerases (DNA dependent DNA polymerase) and synthesize a daughter DNA strand to form a dsDNA molecule which then intergrates into the host genome.Central dogma follows DNA to RNA. Since these viruses go the other way around they are called as RETROVIRUSES. The well known HIV is an example for retrovirus.
