Learn how DNA acts as a template to produce RNA through transcription. Understand the role of RNA polymerase, introns, and exons in the process.
E N D
STEP 1: Transcription • Step 1 = Transcription = DNA acts as template to make RNA • Enzyme - RNA polymerase - reads DNA, binds at promoter - separates DNA strands - reads one side of DNA (template strand) - adds complementary RNA nucleotides
So, transcription from DNA to RNA: template of DNA: T A C G A T A C T RNA: • Where? • Because?
RNA - made of introns and exons - introns – cut out - exons – remaining pieces; final mRNA
