RNA Synthesis: The Building Blocks of Life
RNA synthesis is a fundamental process in the expression of genes and the production of proteins, which are essential for all living organisms. The process involves the transcription of DNA into messenger RNA (mRNA), which then guides protein synthesis during translation.
The Process of RNA Synthesis
- Initiation: The RNA polymerase binds to the DNA at the promoter region.
- Elongation: RNA polymerase moves along the DNA template, adding nucleotides to build the RNA chain.
- Termination: The synthesis of RNA is completed once the RNA polymerase reaches a terminator sequence.
