pls tell me if i have got the concept rite
transcription has 3 steps:
initiation:
the rna polymerase binds at the specific site of the dna known as the promoter
the promoter is identified by an initiation factor called as the sigma factor
the rna polymerase along with the sigma factor bind with the promoter
elongation:
the rna polymerase unzips the dna to form a large loop
the rna polymerase uses ribonucleoside triphosphate as a substrate to polymerise the dna following the rule of complimentarity
the process of polymerisation continuos until the enzyme reaches the terminator gene
termination
the rna polymerase when it polymerase thr coding stand it syntheses rna from 5 prime to 3 prime direction
when the rna polymerase binds with the terminator gene which is facilitated by the rho factor
thr rna polymerase seperates from the dna and the nasant rna falls off
Dear student,
During elongation helicase unwinds double stranded DNA into single stranded DNA. RNA polymerase synthesises RNA using ribonucleoside triphosphate by using non coding strand of DNA as the template to synthesise RNA from 5' to 3' direction. Rest of the statement is correct.
