Question

In the context of an explanation of how human growth occurs, a student is explaining to a colleague the necessity and roles of different types of RNA in protein synthesis. Which type of RNA is a result of the process of transcription?

Answer 1

Messenger RNA

Step-by-step explanation:

Messenger RNA results from the breakage and recombining of DNA strands that is known as transcription

• Transcription always starts at a specific site called promoter
• Promoter are specific sites on DNA where RNA Polymerase binds and initiates transcription
• Synthesis of RNA occurs in 5'-3' direction and continuous
• Only a strand of DNA act as template, template is also known as antisense strand or non coding strand
• The complementary strand is the sense strand or the coding strand
• Only a small segment of DNA is transcribed at a time generally called gene
