Transcription means the synthesis of
(a) DNA
(b) RNA
(c) Proteins
(d) Lipids
Answers
Transcription means the synthesis of RNA.
Answer: Option (b)
Explanation:
RNA stands for Ribonucleic acid. RNA is synthesized from deoxyribonucleic acid in every cells. This step is known as transcription. The enzyme required for this process is DNA dependent RNA polymerase. RNA synthesized is usually again converted back into proteins in the ribosome of the cell by the process of translation.
It is used in conversion of the information stored in DNA to encode a particular protein. RNA can also be converted back to DNA in certain cells by the enzyme RNA dependent DNA polymerase.
Answer:
Transcription means the synthesis of RNA
Option B
Explanation:
RNA is the ribonucleic acid or nucleotide polymer formed of a ribose sugar, phosphate, and nitrogen bases. RNA is produced by a mechanism called transcription, where the enzymes that are present for this process act on DNA to partially unwind the structure and produce a template based on DNA where the complementary base pairs are put together one by one to form one strand of RNA. It is then processed and introns are sliced off, to finally produce the functional RNA. This whole process is called transcription.
