What enzyme breaks the bonds between the complementary parent strands?
Hydrolysis(break) of a phosphodiester bond, separates two strands of DNA Strand breakage by the DNA untwisting enzyme results in covalent attachment of the enzyme to DNA
What enzyme matches RNA nucleotides to complementary DNA nucleotides?
RNA polymerase
What enzyme is necessary for transcription?
The enzyme RNA polymerase transcribes DNA. This enzyme initiates transcription, joins the RNA nucleotides together, and terminates.
How does transcription differ from DNA replication Describe at least four differences?
DNA replication produces a complimentary DNA strand. Transcription produces a complimentary mRNA strand. The major enzyme that carries out DNA replication is DNA Polymerase III (in prokaryotes). The major enzyme that carries out transcription is RNA Polymerase. DNA replication results in two copies of the DNA. Transciption does not affect the DNA - it simply re-anneals (re-joins) after the process. In DNA replication the complementary base to A is T. In transcription the complementary base to A is U.
What is the enzyme that unwinds DNA prior to replication?
DNA Helicase unwinds the DNA strand in the specific location for it to be transcribed.
The enzyme that is responsible for replicating molecules of DNA by attaching complementary bases in the correct sequence is?
DNA polymerase
What is the enzyme that is responsible for replicating molecules of DNA by attaching complementary bases in the correct sequence?
DNA polymerase
Which enzyme assembles the complementary nucleotide bases during replication?
DNA Polymerase
What enzyme breaks the bonds between the complementary parent strands?
Hydrolysis(break) of a phosphodiester bond, separates two strands of DNA Strand breakage by the DNA untwisting enzyme results in covalent attachment of the enzyme to DNA
What is necessary for transcription?
DNA polymerase is the enzyme that "unzips" the complementary DNA strands allowing mRNA to transcribe, or copy, a section of DNA.
What is the name of the enzyme that joins complementary DNA nucleoitide together?
General term.DNA polymerase.-----------------------
A complementary DNA copy of a piece of RNA can be made using an enzyme called?
reverse transcriptase
What enzyme matches RNA nucleotides to complementary DNA nucleotides?
RNA polymerase
What enzyme is necessary for transcription?
The enzyme RNA polymerase transcribes DNA. This enzyme initiates transcription, joins the RNA nucleotides together, and terminates.
In genetics what does complementary DNA mean?
Complementary DNA (cDNA) is DNA that has been copied from an mRNA through a reverse transcriptase enzyme. cDNA contains a copy of the original DNA sequence that made the mRNA - but without the introns (as these are cut out to create mRNA).
An enzyme that reads along a sequence of bases in DNA making a complementary sequence of nucleotide bases in RNA is?
RNA Polymerase.
