Transcription:
"Describe the process of transcription in protein synthesis. Include the specific roles of DNA and mRNA."
In different contexts, when you transcribe something, you make a copy of it. This is the same in DNA transcription. A copy of a DNA strand is copied an an mRNA molecule is created.
Transcription is making an RNA molecule that is complementary to a portion of DNA.
Remember the DNA bases- Adenine, Thymine, Guanine and Cytosine.
Again, this is only the part of transcprition that this course calls for. I know there is far more detail to the process, including a 'TATA box', which I find funny but for now, I'll include the information only relevant to my course.
The process of transcription:
During Transcription a segment of the DNA unwinds and unzips and ONE strand of the DNA is copied from the transcription bubble. Complementary nucleotides pair with the DNA bases using the following bases: Uracil, thymine, guanine and cytosine. A strand of mRNA results.
