Three ‘rules’ of transcription:
1. _______
Base pairing with the DNA template is used to determine the new RNA sequence
Three ‘rules’ of transcription:
2. _______
RNA is antiparallel to the DNA strand, so the 3’ end of DNA is paired with the 5’ end of the RNA
Three ‘rules’ of transcription:
3. _______
New nucleotides are only added to the 3’ end of strands using phosphodiester linkages
Location transcription occurs
In eukaryotes:
In prokaryotes (bacteria):
Nucleus, cytosol
