Iniation Phase 3 Steps Of Translation Flashcards

Q
The three steps
A
Initiation: two strands of DNA are being separated, this is done by RNA polymerase, RNA polymerase binds with the promoter part of the gene which will say that it can separate
Elongation: is the addition of nucleotides to the mRNA strand. RNA polymerase reads the unwound DNA strand and builds the mRNA molecule
Termination: RNA polymerase crosses a stop (termination) sequence in the gene. The mRNA strand is complete and it detaches from DNA
