BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -During transcription, the DNA of a gene serves as a template for complementary base-pairing, and an enzyme called RNA polymerase II catalyzes the formation of a pre-mRNA molecule, which is then processed to form mature mRNA (Figure 1).

Detailed explanation-2: -The DNA strand that serves as a template for mRNA synthesis is called as anticoding strand or antisense strand or noncoding strand. The other strand is called coding strand or sense strand as its base sequence is same as that of newly synthesized mRNA.

Detailed explanation-3: -Template strand is the DNA strand off which the mRNA is synthesized. The coding, or non-template, strand is the DNA strand complementary to the template strand; it has the same sequence (except for T for U substitutions) as the mRNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transcription is the process by which the information in a strand of DNA is copied into a new molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). DNA safely and stably stores genetic material in the nuclei of cells as a reference, or template.

Detailed explanation-5: -Formation of RNA on DNA template is called as transcription. Transcription is when RNA is made from DNA. During transcription, RNA polymerase makes a copy of a gene from the DNA to mRNA as needed. During transcription, the DNA site at which RNA polymerase binds is called as promoter.
