Detailed explanation-1: -Which of the following events occurs directly after RNA polymerase recognizes the transcription start site of a gene? Free-floating nucleotides pair up with exposed DNA bases. A complementary RNA strand detaches itself from the DNA. The DNA strand begins to unwind, separating the two strands.
Detailed explanation-2: -Transcription begins when an enzyme called RNA polymerase attaches to the DNA template strand and begins assembling a new chain of nucleotides to produce a complementary RNA strand.
Detailed explanation-3: -This phenomenon is known as complementary base pairing (Figure 4), and it results in the production of two complementary strands of DNA.
Detailed explanation-4: -Once the DNA is unzipped it forms a template for the binding of the DNA Polymerase and other accessory proteins. The synthesis of a new strand occurs using this unzipped DNA as the template in the 5’-3’ direction.
