RNA polymerase moves in which direction along the DNA?
RNA polymerase moves along the DNA template strand in the 3' to 5' direction, synthesizing a new RNA strand in the 5' to 3' direction.
What is the base sequence along the complementary region of the other strand of the double helix if one is GAATGC?
The complementary sequence to GAATGC is CTTACG. In DNA, adenine pairs with thymine, so if one strand has a guanine (G), the complementary strand will have a cytosine (C); and if one strand has an adenine (A), the complementary strand will have a thymine (T).
What initially determines which DNA strand is the template strand and therefore in which direction RNA polymerase ii moves along the DNA?
The promoter region of a gene contains specific sequences that signal RNA polymerase II where to bind and initiate transcription. The orientation of these sequences determines which DNA strand is recognized as the template strand and therefore dictates the direction in which RNA polymerase II moves along the DNA during transcription.
What Moves along the mRNA and helps form the peptide strand?
Ribosomes move along the mRNA during protein synthesis. They help bring together amino acids to form a peptide strand based on the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA.
What is replication forks?
A replication fork is the mechanism by which a strand of DNA is synthesized. If you can imagine a strand of DNA unwound, then it would resemble a ladder. Unzip the DNA and it now looks like a fork, ie fork in road, not eating fork. There is a Leading strand, which is synthesised easily. USing DNA polymerase which 'reads' along the strand in the 3' to 5' direction on the strand, producing a replication strand in the 5' to 3' direction. The opposite strand is called the lagging strand, and this is slightly more complicated. DNA polymerase cannot read in the 5' to 3' direction on the template strand. Thus DNA primase is used to read the strand and replicate small RNA segments, called Okazaki fragments. The lagging strand has no been copied into many small strands of RNA, or Okazaki fragments. Next DNA polymerase comes along and replaces all the RNA nucleotides with DNA nucleotides. ANd finally DNA ligase 'stitches' all the small fragments into one long strand.
What direction does RNA polymerase move along the DNA?
RNA polymerase moves in the 3' to 5' direction along the DNA template strand during transcription. This allows it to synthesize an RNA molecule in the 5' to 3' direction.
What phase of mitosis that is characterized by the arrangement of all chromosomes along the equator of the cell is called?
metaphase
What is the phase of mitosis that is characterized by the arrangement of all chromosomes along the equator of the cell?
anaphase i think
Why is one strand of the DNA molecule labeled Template DNA?
The template DNA strand is the one used during transcription to create a complementary RNA strand. This strand is used as a guide for the RNA polymerase enzyme to synthesize mRNA. The other DNA strand is known as the non-template or coding strand.
What is the phase of mitosis that is characterized by the arrangement of all chromosomes along the equator of the cell called?
metaphase i believe
What kind of leaf arrangement does ivy have?
Ivy plants have alternate leaf arrangement, which means that leaves are arranged along the stem in an alternating pattern. Each leaf grows in a staggered formation rather than directly across from each other.
Why does Dna have both leading and lagging Strands?
DNA replication is bidirectional, meaning it occurs in opposite directions along the template DNA strand. The leading strand is synthesized continuously in the 5' to 3' direction, while the lagging strand is synthesized discontinuously in short fragments called Okazaki fragments. This ensures that both strands are replicated efficiently and accurately.
