题目
Messenger RNA (mRNA) and transfer RNA (tRNA) are important nucleic acids involved in the process of protein synthesis.
(a) Describe how a molecule of mRNA is made during transcription.
请描述在转录过程中mRNA分子是如何合成的。
参考答案
Transcription is the copying of a DNA strand into an RNA strand by RNA polymerase and other enzymes. During transcription DNA helicase unzips the DNA molecule and RNA nucleotides line up against the DNA antisense strand via complementary base pairing. The RNA backbone is formed in a condensation reaction, forming phosphodiester bonds between the nucleotides. The mRNA then leaves the DNA molecule for processing.
