Define the process of transcription. Where does this process fit into the central dogma of molecular biology (DNA makes RNA makes protein)?

Accepted Answer

Hi everyone. Welcome back. Here's our next question. The essential enzyme that converts the genetic information contained in DNA into RNA is RNA polymerase. RNA. P. Eukaryotic M. RNA is produced by which type of RNA polymerase. When we look over answer choices, we see A through C. R. RNA polymerase is 12 and three and choice D. Is all of the above. We have the potential of more than one correct answer. So when we think about eukaryotic M. R. N. A. That's produced by RNA polymerase too, which is choice be here. We're gonna highlight that as our correct answer. When we look at our other answer choices. Choice A. RNA race one is responsible for making our R. N. A. In you carry outs that ribosomes all RNA. So that's not a correct answer. And then that means that choice D. All of the above is also incorrect. And then choice C. RNA polymerase three is responsible for making TR N. A. And you carry out's not the M. R. N. A. That's why that's incorrect. And if you want a little tip to keep them straight. Um One way I think of it is so you know that you've got three types of RNA, the 12 and three are enabling races. You've got your R. R. N. A. M. RNA and TR N. A. When I look at this roman, numeral one for our in april. In race one think of the fact that the letter are the little little are are sort of starts with this like a single line here as opposed to M. And M. RNA. You've got to, you know, uh two little humps in your M. So I think of the two parts of the letter M going with RNA polymerase to one part of the letter are going with our people in race one and then RNA polymerase three. You can think of the number three and the letter T. Kind of go together. So there's just little tips of keeping straight which are in april. And race is responsible for making which type of RNA in you carry outs. So again, which which type of RNA polymerase produces eukaryotic M. R. N. A. And that's choice B. RNA polymerase to see you in the next video.
