Question

Read the information for transcription and then answer the question. Protein Synthesis Explain the process of transcription.

Answer 1

The gene coding for the protein untwists and unzips.

RNA nucleotides form complimentary base pairs with the DNA bases.

Hydrogen bonds and sugar-phosphate bonds form and the mRNA strand is synthesized.

mRNA peels off the DNA and moves to the cytoplasm.

Answer 2

Please find the explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

Transcription is the first process that occurs in protein synthesis. It involves the use of the stored information in the DNA molecule to synthesize a mRNA molecule.

Transcription, which occurs in the nucleus of eukaryotes and cytoplasm of prokaryotes, is catalyzed by an enzyme called RNA polymerase. RNA polymerase binds to the double-stranded DNA and begins to unwind it (Initiation). This unwinding causes the nucleotide bases to be exposed in order for the RNA polymerase enzyme to read.

The enzyme reads the bases of the DNA and begins to synthesize RNA nucleotides using the complementary base pairing rule (Elongation) i.e. Adenine base paired with Uracil base (RNA), and Guanine paired with Cytosine etc.

The single-stranded mRNA is released at the end of the transcription process (termination). This is basically what occurs in transcription.
