What is the function of a consensus sequence in transcription initiation?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
Definition:Consensus sequences are the repeated nucleotide's sequence e.g TATA box,GC-rich region etc.
Function:And these sequences can be start,stop,promoters' attachment sequences,etc.
So they are the cis-acting elements of DNA,with which the trans-acting elements interact.

The correct sequence of the events of transcription is?
RNA polymerase reaches the beginning of a gene.
What is the function of the TATA box?
The TATA box assists in directing RNA polymerase II to the initiation site downstream on DNA. RNA polymerases bind to regions of DNA known as promoters. Promoter regions are comprised of the initiation site and numerous nucleotides upstream from the initiation site. The TATA box is necessary for transcription because RNA polymersase II cannot recognize the initiation sites on its own.
What is transcription and what are the main steps involved in this process?
Do your own lab report. Jk. Transcription is the process in which DNA is converted into a complementary RNA. Before transcription, the splicing of introns has already occurred. Transcription takes place the nucleus. RNA polymerase begins the elongation of the RNA while the DNA template is unwound and rewound. Transcription responds to the termination signal and disassembles, terminating the process. The RNA is then processed with 5' G cap and poly A tail, and exits the nucleus, heading into the cytoplasm.
The making of RNA based on the sequence of nucleotides in DNA is called?
It's called transcription. But transcription is part of a larger process called protein synthesis.
If a strand of DNA has the sequence aagctc transcription will result in?
TTCGAG
What event in transcription initiation likely occurs last?
The binding of RNA polymerase to the promoter sequence is the likely event that occurs last in transcription initiation. This binding allows for the initiation of RNA synthesis and the subsequent elongation of the RNA molecule.
The correct sequence of the events of transcription is?
RNA polymerase reaches the beginning of a gene.
What is initiation in transcription?
So in Transcription there are three main steps: Initiation, elongation and termination. The one I'm focusing on is Initiation. In eukaryote, proteins called transcription factors mediate the initiation of transcription by RNA Polymerse II. A eukaryotic promoter commonly includes a TATA box, a nucleotide sequence containing "Thymine-Adenine-thymine-adenine", about 25 nucleotides upstream from the transcriptional start point.

What is the name of the process whereby a DNA sequence is converted into a RNA sequence?
transcription
What refers to translating the sequence of nucleic acids to the sequence of amino acids?
Transcription.

What is it called when copying part of a nucleotide sequence of dna into a complementary sequence in rna?
transcription

Rna molecules are produced by copying part of the nucleotide sequence of DNA into a complementary sequence in rna?
transcription
Why are Zinc fingers important in cellular regulation?
Zinc fingers are sequence specific domains in regulatory proteins that effect transcriptional activity. By regulating transcription, cellular function is regulated.
