5. Steps:
• 1) RNA polymerase (enzyme)
• Binds to DNA and separates the two
strands.
6. • 2) One strand of DNA is used as the
template to make messenger RNA.
• RNA nucleotides are added to growing
strand.
• No thymine in RNA has uracil instead
• A=U and G=C
7. DNA strand = ATCGTGCA
What would be the mRNA strand created?
8. • 3) Single stranded mRNA created and
process is called transcription.
• mRNA leaves the nucleus to go to the
ribosomes where it’s code is used to create
a protein.
