Questions and Answers
RNA polymerase binds to the start of that sequence (This involves energy from ATP and phosphorylation of the receptor) RNA polymerase does two things: i. Unzips that sequence of codons ii. Pairs free ribonucleotides found in the nucleus to the corresponding deoxyribonucleotide of the antisense strand of DNA. The ribonucleotides are bound together to form messenger RNA (mRNA) This.
process is known as transcription
Adenine pairs to thymine (or uracil on RNA) Guanine pairs to cytosine A-T (or U) C- G 4 2 13/07/2020 Transcription: This occurs in the nucleus A transcription factor binds to a receptor on DNA associated with a specific sequence of codons (a gene) Transcription factors may be hormones or other intracellular chemicals (ligands) An enzyme known as RNA polymerase binds to the start of that sequence (This involves energy from ATP and phosphorylation of the receptor) RNA polymerase does two things: i. Unzips that sequence of codons ii. Pairs free ribonucleotides found in the nucleus to the corresponding deoxyribonucleotide of the antisense strand of DNA.

process is the initial step of gene expression
A transcription factor binds to a receptor on DNA associated with a specific sequence of codons (a gene) Transcription factors may be hormones or other intracellular chemicals (ligands) An enzyme known as RNA polymerase binds to the start of that sequence (This involves energy from ATP and phosphorylation of the receptor)
process is called initiation
