Describe the steps in transcription that require complementary base pairing.

Biology
1 answer:
nalin [4]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Transcription takes place in nucleus in the presence of the enzyme RNA polymerase.

During transcription, the code present in DNA gets transcribed into the code in mRNA.  (messenger RNA)

RNA even though is a single stranded shows base pairing.

The pre-mRNA gets created from the DNA.

DNA has two strands, one of these strands acts as coding and another non coding strand.

The DNA shows base pairing with AGTC.   [A-Adenine, G- Guanine, T-Thymine and C- Cytosine]

Whereas mRNA base pairing with AGUC.  [ U- Uracil ]

Here in mRNA, instead of thymine, uracil gets paired.

According to base pairing of coding strand/sense strand of DNA, complementary bases pairs in 5'---->3' direction in mRNA.

The mRNA created looks exactly like the non-coding strand/sense strand of DNA except instead of thymine, uracil gets replaced.

The pre-RNA undergoes splicing, capping and tailing to form mature mRNA.

5. What types of genes change very slowly?
allsm [11]

Answer: Mutation. The allelic variations that make evolution possible are generated by the process of mutation, but new mutations change gene frequencies very slowly, because mutation rates are low. Assume that the gene allele A1 mutates to allele A2 at a rate m per generation and that at a given time the frequency of A1 is p.
