Notes:
Before we go into the details of transcription, let’s review what distinguishes RNA from DNA. Both are nucleic acids, but RNA nucleotides contain sugar ribose (hence the name ribo-nucleic acids) instead of deoxy-ribose found in DNA. Second difference is
There are three major types of RNA in all cells: 1) messenger RNA or mRNA is the intermediary for carrying the information between DNA and proteins. We can say that mRNA acts on the genetic level. 2) transfer RNA or tRNA is the adapter involved in tran
