A researcher has identified two molecules involved in transcription and translation, shown here. Select which investigation is m
ost appropriate to identify the roles of these molecules in transcription? A) an analysis of how molecule 1 copies itself to become molecule 2 B) an analysis of how molecule 2 acts a template to make molecule 1 C) an analysis of the number of nucleotides in both molecules 1 and 2 D) an analysis of how molecules 1 and 2 travel outside of the nucleus to the cytoplasm
Option B) an analysis of how molecule 2 acts a template to make molecule 1
Explanation:
In DNA replication, one of the primary stages is DNA replication. This is the process of copying DNA material from one strand to another. In the process, the double helix is copied over to another double helix by the action of the enzymes. However, for this process to take place, there should be one template molecule that can be used to perform such an action. Thus, the second molecule acts as a template for the first molecule.
