उत्तर
- During transcription, information of only one strand of DNA is copied into RNA.
- DNA transcription takes place in nucleus in eukaryotes whereas translation occurs in cytoplasm.
- The promotor is located towards 5’ end of structural gene.
- DNA dependent RNA polymerase catalyses polymerisation in 5’→3’ direction. So the DNA strand having 3’→5’ polarity acts as template strand. The other strand of DNA having 5’→3’ polarity is complementary to template strand.
- The information on this strand of DNA is copied on mRNA.
- The terminator is located at 3’ end of coding strand i.e. downstream. It defines the end of the transcription process.
- As the mRNA grows, the transcribed region of DNA molecule becomes spirally coiled and attains (regains) double helical form.
