Solution
Question
Answer
Explanation
How are transcription and replication similar?
Both processes require the separation of the DNA double helix and the synthesis of a new strand of nucleic acid from a DNA template
Yes, in both replication and transcription, they need a template created by the separation of DNA double helix to synthesize new strand of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA). RNA polymerase actually does not need a primer to initiate RNA synthesis, it is only DNA polymerase which needs a primer with a 3-hydroxyl group. So, need of RNA primase in case of transcription
What are the common consensus sequences in a typical bacterial promoter?
5–TTGACA–3 (–35 from start site) and 5–TATAAT–3 (–10 from start site)
Typical bacterial promoter
5\'—TTGACA---------TATAAT-------3\'
3\'—AACTGT---------ATATTA-------5\'
---( –35 Region)-------( –10 Region)--
