Question

During transcription, RNA polymerase synthesizes RNA from a DNA template with the help of accessory proteins. In this tutorial, you will review the steps of transcription in eukaryotes and bacteria and investigate splicing of mRNAs in eukaryotes. Transcription in bacteria The diagram below shows a length of DNA containing a bacterial gene. Drag the labels to their appropriate locations in the diagram to describe the function or characteristics of each part of the gene. Not all labels will be used.

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Part A:

a. same sequence as RNA transcript (except for having U instead of T).

b. produces stem loop structure in RNA transcript.

c. recognized by sigma subunit of RNA polymerase.

d. complementary to RNA transcript.

e. leads to an unstable RNA-DNA duplex.
