Gene expression begins with transcription and occurs in the <u>nucleus.</u> To create an <u>RNA molecule,</u> the DNA sequence of a gene must be copied. <u>RNA polymerases, </u>which join nucleotides to create an RNA strand, carry out transcription (using a DNA strand as a template).<u> Initiation, elongation, and termination</u> are the three phases of transcription.
- RNA polymerase is the enzyme responsible for constructing the messenger RNA transcript from the template DNA.
- The synthesis of mRNA always proceeds in a 5’ to 3’ direction. In eukaryotes, the nucleus is the site of mRNA synthesis, whereas, in prokaryotes, mRNA is formed in the cytoplasm. The process of transcription has three stages:
Initiation stage – RNA polymerase begins the synthesis by recognizing the gene present at the beginning of the template strand.
The polymerase binds to the specific sequence, which at present at the initial end of the template. These are called consensus sequences. Specific transcription factors facilitate the recognition and binding of the consensus sequence with RNA polymerase.
Elongation stage – the RNA polymerase copies the mRNA complementary to the coding strand. The process of elongation continues till the RNA polymerase reaches the terminal sequence. Certain factors facilitate the elongation process called extension factors.
Termination stage – RNA polymerase, upon reaching the termination sequence, stops the transcription. At this point, no more elongation is carried out. The nascent mRNA is released from the transcription bubble by either of the two processes:
- By formation of a hair loop structure that pulls the mRNA from the transcription complex or,
- A protein called Rho utilizes ATP to break the bonds and release the nascent mRNA.

I believe it is “animals and plants caanot directly use all the nitrogen found in our atmosphere”
The answer to this question would be: <span>a) an unconditioned stimulus (UCS)
In Pavlov experiment, the meat is </span><span>an unconditioned stimulus (UCS) because it doesn't need any learning. The meat will cause increased saliva production in the dog is it was reminding it of food. The bell, in this case, is conditioned stimulus because the dog learns the connection of the bell with the food.</span>
