Why does DNA determine RNA base sequence?In: Microbiology |
[Edit] |
Answer
RNA is actually a single stranded copy of DNA composed of ribonucleic acids, hence the name RNA. Genomic DNA is read by an enzyme called RNA polymerase which uses DNA as a template to make a corresponding RNA copy. The RNA transcript is recognized by ribosomes and is used as a guide to assemble amino acids into long chains called polypeptides or proteins.
