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.

What process does a cell use to make an RNA copy of a segment of DNA?

The process a cell uses to make an RNA copy of a segment of DNA is called transcription. During transcription, the enzyme RNA polymerase binds to the DNA at a specific region called the promoter. It then unwinds the DNA strands and synthesizes a complementary RNA strand by adding RNA nucleotides that are complementary to the DNA template. Once the RNA strand is complete, it undergoes processing before being translated into proteins.

Process in the cell nucleus where enzymes make an RNA copy of a DNA?

Transcription is the process in the cell nucleus where enzymes synthesize an RNA copy of a DNA gene. This process involves the enzyme RNA polymerase reading the DNA template and constructing the complementary RNA molecule. The resulting RNA transcript serves as a blueprint for protein synthesis.


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.


Are DNA and RNA neurotransmitters?

No. Neurotransmitters are located in the brain. DNA & RNA are related to cell information and replication.


How do some viruses reproduce without possessing DNA?

39. When a virus attaches to a cell, it injects the cell with its DNA or RNA. This genetic coding material then implants itself into (or destroys) the DNA of the host cell. The viral genetic coding then induces mitosis, and the cell reproduces, and continues to make copies, until the immune response system of the organism reacts. Generally, viruses 'reproduce' by injecting the viral DNA into a host cell using the host cell's DNA synthesis enzymes to duplicate the viral DNA and the proteins that comprise the viral protein coat (capsid).
