Which of the following events occurs during transcription?
- Those segments of the RNA strand that do not actually code for the protein are removed.
- The message in mRNA is translated into a protein.
- mRNA binds to a ribosome in the cytoplasm.
- A molecule of RNA is formed based on the sequence of nucleotides in DNA.
- A cap is added to the RNA molecule.
Answer:
- A molecule of RNA is formed based on the sequence of nucleotides in DNA.
- During transcription, RNA nucleotides line up with their complementary DNA partners, transcribing the information in DNA into RNA.
