1. Cell starts into mitosis phase of the cell cycle.
2. Helicase begins to break the hydrogen bonds between the nitrogen bases. (The double helix has to be unwound in order to expose the nucleotides)
3. DNA polymerase attach the free-floating nucleotides to the exposed nitrogen bases. (this allows a new DNA strand to be made on the existing one)
4. Free floating nucleotides pair up with exposed nitrogen bases (this is what really builds the new strand, based around the template strand)
5. Two new molecules of DNA are created
Statements:
Adenine
Cytosine (Car in the Garage, Apple in a Tree is a good trick to know how they pair)
DNA
Replication
Double helix
It’s mass stays constant .weight changes depending on gravitational force
RNA nucleotides form complimentary base pairs with DNA bases. Hydrogen and sugar-phosphate bonds form and the mRNA is synthesized.
Explanation:
The process of mRNA formed by DNA is called transcription. The genes coding for the protein is present on DNA as a nitrogenous base or nucleotides.
Transcription takes place inside the nucleus with the assistance of major enzyme RNA polymerase. In transcription 5'to3' single strand of RNA is synthesized which is complementary to the 3'to5' strand of DNA. The sequence of DNA has promoter sites which will be recognized and DNA will unzip to form transcription bubble. Several transcription factors and enzyme will be required to synthesize mRNA.
This mRNA after some modification would become primary transcript and pass on to the cytoplasm where protein synthesis will take place.
