DNA TRANSCIPTION (3RD PART OF LQ2) Flashcards
The first step of Gene Expression
DNA transcription
dna transcription is also known as?
RNA synthesis
these are antibodies and protect the bodies against foreign elements
proteins
these catalyze reactions
enzymes
these transmit signals
messenger
these are strucutres and support for cells
structural
these bind and carry atoms and small molecules
transport/storage
It acts as a unified system, performing all the functions required for RNA synthesis
RNA POLYMERASE
Serves as our blueprint where we encode the bases of our RNA
● TEMPLATE STRAND
also known as the sense strand or non-template strand, is one of the two strands of DNA that serves as a template for mRNA synthesis during transcription.
CODING STRANDS
t delivers the bases needed to pair with the RNA, essentially carrying the letters for RNA synthesis.
NTPs - Nitrogen triphosphate
This portion is a combination half
in half, half dna and half rna
→ This is also temporary.
● RNA-DNA HYBRID REGION
signifies the starting point of
initiation
TATA
→ This is the site of the main event, where everything happens.
ELONGATION
This region serves as the starting point for transcription.
