Question:

Describe the transcription process

Author: Marilyn Bob-Manuel 3ekt



Answer:

Transcription begins when RNA polymerase moves along DNA unwinding the double helix and breaking the hydrogen bonds between the bases free RNA nucleotides are attracted to the exposed DNA bases RNA polymerase synthesises a primary transcript of mRNA from RNA nucleotides by complementary base pairing. When the mRNA primary transcript is complete it breaks away from the DNA molecule which rewinds into its double helix again
