The transcription process

/in /by

This is a graded exercise. Please make sure to follow the instructions carefully, as an evaluator will be giving you feedback on your submission. Your report should be 2-3 pages, referencing scholarly sources and cited in APA format. You must submit your report as a file.

A cell is in the process of transcription. The single strand of DNA being copied has the sequence:

ATC GAC GGA TCC

Indicate the mRNA strand that will be synthesized from this strand, listing the correct sequence of bases. Explain the transcription process, and why it is important in the process of producing protein. Then, describe the situation in which cells do not complete the transcription process. What happens to the cell? How does it affect the system and cells surrounding it?

Your report should include:

  • the mRNA sequence
  • describe the transcription process
  • describe the importance of transcription
  • explain the affects of an incomplete transcription process on the cell and its supporting system
