Radio Stars. Quasars are the brightest and most distant objects in the known universe. In the early 1960's, quasars were referred to as radio stars because they were discovered to be a strong source of radio waves. In fact, the term quasar comes from the words, quasi-stellar radio source.
The following DNA sequence occurs in the nontemplate strand of a structural gene in bacterium (the promoter sequence is located to the left but is not shown): 5 -GAATGTCAGAACTGCCATGCTTCATATGAATAGACCTCTAG-3 What is the ribonucleotide sequence of mRNA molecule that is transcribed from this piece of DNA?
Transcription is the process by which DNA is copied (transcribed) to mRNA, which carries the information needed for protein synthesis. Transcription takes place in two broad steps. First, pre-messenger RNA is formed, with the involvement of RNA polymerase enzymes.The process relies on Watson-Crick base pairing, and the resultant single strand of RNA is the reverse-complement of the original DNA sequence.he pre-messenger RNA thus formed contains introns which are not required for protein synthesis. The pre-messenger RNA is chopped up to remove the introns and create messenger RNA (mRNA) in a process called RNA splicing (Figure 5).
