Multi cellular organisms are composed of many cells whereas unicellular organisms are composed of single cell. Multicellularity is indeed a progressive attribute of evolution where cells form tissue which forms organ and then organ system and finally an organism. Both multi cellular and unicellular organisms has advantages and disadvantages of their own. One of the main disadvantage of multi cellular organisms is that due to such a complex composition and functioning they require a large amount of energy for their maintenance and survival. Different organs and system require a huge amount of energy when it comes to comparison with unicellular organisms. A large amount of energy is also wasted in all these life processes. Though multi cellular organisms can survive in a variety of environmental conditions but then also their survival is difficult than any unicellular organism.

What happens during the initiation step of DNA transcription? A ribosome attaches to the initiation codon of a completed mRNA st

Amanda [17]

Answer:

A portion of the DNA unwinds and RNA polymerase attaches to the DNA within the transcription bubble.

Explanation:

Transcription is the process in which DNA template is used to synthesize mRNA.

There are three steps of transcription:

Initiation

It is the process in which a portion of DNA unwinds and RNA polymerase binds to the promotor region on the DNA.

Elongation

It is the process in which RNA polymerase moves along the DNA template and synthesizes mRNA. During this process, unwinding of double stranded DNA takes place.

Termination

As the RNA polymerase moves along the DNA template, it finally reaches a termination signal and then stops synthesizing. It is followed by the detachment of the newly formed mRNA and RNA polymerase from the DNA.

QUESTION:

A ribosome attaches to the initiation codon of a completed mRNA strand.

This is the incorrect answer choice as this process does not happen in the process of transcription. This event happens in the process of translation in which mRNA is used to synthesize proteins or amino acids. mRNA attaches to ribosome during this process.

RNA polymerase moves along the template strand of the DNA creating an mRNA strand.

This is the incorrect answer choice as this event takes place in the process of elongation.

A portion of the DNA unwinds and RNA polymerase attaches to the DNA within the transcription bubble.

This is the correct answer choice as this event takes place in the process of initiation of transcription

The mRNA detaches from the RNA polymerase as the RNA polymerase leaves the DNA strand.

This is the incorrect answer choice. This event takes place in the event of termination of transcription.
