What does a bacterial RNA polymerase produce when it transcribes a protein-coding gene?
a. rRNA
b. tRNA
c. mRNA
d. snRNA

검증된 단계별 안내

Understand the role of RNA polymerase: RNA polymerase is an enzyme responsible for synthesizing RNA from a DNA template during the process of transcription.
Identify the type of gene being transcribed: The problem specifies that the gene being transcribed is a protein-coding gene. Protein-coding genes are responsible for producing messenger RNA (mRNA).
Recall the function of mRNA: mRNA serves as the template for protein synthesis during translation. It carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where proteins are assembled.
Eliminate incorrect options: rRNA (ribosomal RNA) and tRNA (transfer RNA) are involved in the translation process but are not produced from protein-coding genes. snRNA (small nuclear RNA) is involved in RNA splicing and is not related to protein-coding genes.
Conclude that the correct answer is mRNA, as it is the RNA product synthesized by RNA polymerase when transcribing a protein-coding gene.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Transcription

Transcription is the process by which RNA is synthesized from a DNA template. In bacteria, RNA polymerase binds to a specific region of the DNA called the promoter and unwinds the DNA strands. It then synthesizes a complementary RNA strand, which is crucial for gene expression.

Types of RNA

There are several types of RNA produced during transcription, including messenger RNA (mRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and small nuclear RNA (snRNA). Each type has a distinct role; for instance, mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis, while rRNA and tRNA are involved in the translation process.

Bacterial RNA Polymerase

Bacterial RNA polymerase is the enzyme responsible for synthesizing RNA from a DNA template in prokaryotes. Unlike eukaryotic cells, bacteria have a single type of RNA polymerase that can transcribe all types of RNA, primarily producing mRNA for protein-coding genes, which is essential for cellular function and response to environmental changes.
