Question
Chapter 26, Problem 26.52AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
An intron and exon term has to be defined.
Concept Introduction:
RNA synthesis: The process of RNA synthesis is Transcription. A small section of DNA unwinds, only one of the two strands act as template and the other strand as informational strand. The complementary bases are attached one by one by the action of RNA polymerase at template strand on moving down. The newly generated RNA is the exact copy of the informational strand, with the exception that a U replaces each T in the template DNA. The RNA synthesised carries genetic information and directs protein synthesis.

Each nucleobase on the DNA produces a matching nucleobase on this molecule. Every 3-base codon specifies an amino acid in a protein. What is the name of X?

- Define the term DNA.arrow_forwardEukaryotic DNA is typically organized into two major regions called euchromatin and heterochromatin. Which of the following applies to euchromatin? They are regions of little or no transcription activity. They are regions of highly condensed chromatin. They are regions that are uncoiled and active in transcription. They may refer to regions near the ends of chromosome (telomeres). They refer to regions that contain the centromere.arrow_forwardThe code for a fully functional protein is actually coming from an mRNA transcript that has undergone post-transcriptional processing which is essentially way too different from the original code in the DNA template.
