Transciption- Basic Flashcards
1
Q
Requires?
A
- Template strand/ non-coding strand
- > px complementary RNA - RNA polymerase
-> catalyses the linking of free ribonucleotides;
=> RNA molecule - Free ribonucleotides triphosphate
- TF
2
Q
Transcription is?
A
Transfer of information from DNA to RNA;
Synthesis of a ssRNA that is complementary to the base seq of template DNA
3
Q
Three stages
A
Initiation
Elongation
Termination
4
Q
How to spend up transcription
A
Multiple RNA polymerase
->increase speed of RNA production;
Higher translation rate as more RNA are synthesized
5
Q
Comparing transcription with other processes, what are the points of comparison
A
- Enzymes
- Raw materials
- End pdts
- Specific period of occurrence
- > S phase at DNA replication - Ref to process
