Answer:
Transcription is the initial step for gene expression. which involves the copy of a gene and it's DNA sequence to make RNA molecules.
Explanation:
Transcription-:
- Trascription is the initial or first step in gene expression. In this process the information from a gene is used to make a functional product like protein.
- The main reason of transcription is to make RNA copies from DNA sequence.
Process of transcription-:
- Enzyme required for the process of transcription is RNA polymerase which uses a single-strand of DNA template to synthesize a complementary strand of RNA molecule.
- Stages of transcription-:
- Initiation-: In this stage RNA polymerase binds to promotor region of DNA separates the DNA strands that is produce a single stranded DNA.
- Elongation-: One template strand of DNA, acts as a template for RNA polymerase and polymerase builds an RNA molecule out of complementary nucleotides, which make a chain and elongates in a direction 5' to 3'.
- Termination-:The terminator sequences signal that the RNA transcript is complete. After that the transcription is over.
