11111nata11111 [884]

The process of converting the genetic message from DNA into RNA is called transcription.

Transcription is the phase of gene expression in which a certain part of DNA is copied into RNA. Transcription is carried out by the enzyme RNA polymerase which joins nucleotides to produce an RNA strand and uses a DNA strand as a template. The three stages involved in transcription are initiation, elongation, and termination.

Heterozygous alleles are found on ________ chromosomes
Ksju [112]

Answer is Homologous.

A diploid individual having two different alleles for a specific trait is called heterozygous. An allele is the alternative form of the same gene. The cells in diploid organisms contain sets of homologous chromosomes, which are paired chromosomes. Each chromosome of a homologous pair has the same genes on the same positions. Although homologous chromosomes have the same genes, they may have different alleles for those genes.  

Example: The gene for seed color trait in a pea plant exists in pair. One gene or allele for yellow seed (R) and the other for green seed color (r). A heterozygous plant would contain alleles for seed color (Rr). Gene R is present one chromosome and its allele (r) is present on the other chromosome of the homologous pair.
