Question

Construct and label a transcription unit from which the RNA segment given below has been transcribed. Write the complete name of the enzyme that transcribed this RNA.

Hint:

RNA polymerase reads the template DNA strand in 3’ to 5’ direction and synthesizes RNA in 5’ to 3’ direction.

Answer 1

Enzyme: RNA polymerase
Transcription unit: A segment of DNA with a promoter, structural gene, and terminator.
The DNA sequence complementary to RNA: \[ \text{3'}\text{TAC GTA CGT ACG}\text{5'} \]
