Question

Briefly describe: Transcription

Answer 1

Answer:

Transcription is a process of gene expression in which a particular section of DNA gets converted into RNA( referred to as messenger RNA or mRNA) with the help of an enzyme known as RNA polymerase.

This is done with respect to the complementary base pairs present in them. One difference in the base pairing in DNA and RNA is that while thymine is present in DNA, in the case of RNA, uracil is present in its place.

Prokaryotic transcription takes place in the cytoplasm and is coupled with translation whereas eukaryotic transcription takes place in the nucleus.

Answer 2

Answer:

The first step in gene expression is called as transcription. It is the process in which the information present in the DNA used as template to code protein.  

Explanation:

The objective of this process is to make RNA duplicate of a gene's DNA grouping. For a protein-coding gene, the RNA duplicate or transcript conveys the data expected to construct a polypeptide (protein or protein subunit). Eukaryotic transcripts need to experience some preparing steps before interpretation into proteins.
