The region of DNA where RNA synthesis begins is the promoter.

DNA contains a number of upstream regulatory and promoter sequences but the region of DNA where RNA synthesis begins is the start codon. This is the first codon that translates into an RNA nucleotide.

The location where DNA polymerase attaches to the DNA strand?

DNA polymerase attaches to the DNA strand at a specific region called the origin of replication. This is where the double-stranded DNA is unwound, creating two template strands for DNA synthesis to occur. DNA polymerase then begins replicating the DNA in a 5' to 3' direction.


When transcription begins the enzyme is called?

the RNA polymerase attaches to the promoter and transcribes the gene in messenger RNA, or mRNA


What is the process in which the DNA double helix unfold and each strand serves as a template for the synthesis of a new strand?

The process is called DNA replication. It begins with the unwinding of the DNA double helix by an enzyme called helicase. Each separated strand then serves as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary strand by DNA polymerase.


What is the process called where protein synthesis starts in the ribosomes?

Protein synthesis when RNA polymerase attaches to the DNA at a specific area called the promoter region. The information in DNA is not directly converted into proteins, but must first be copied into RNA. This ensures that the information contained within the DNA does not become tainted.

Protein synthesis


What catalyzes DNA synthesis?

DNA synthesis is catalyzed by enzymes called DNA polymerases. These enzymes are responsible for assembling new DNA strands by adding nucleotides to the growing chain during DNA replication.
