上泽充通大学 Shanghai Jiao Tong University Transcription:Discuss the following questions 1.Why do we need a messenger RNA? 2.RNA polymerase:Any direction?Why? 3.RNA polymerase:Need a primer? 4.Initiation of RNA synthesis:How to find the right place? Where is the right place?Which DNA strand is the right strand for transcription? 5.Termination of RNA synthesis:where is the right place for termination? 6.Transcription:write down the relative position of promoter position,terminator,start codon,stop codon for a polycistronic mRNA No. 2 Chen Feng.Shanghai Jiao Tong UniversityNo. 2 Chen Feng, Shanghai Jiao Tong University Transcription: Discuss the following questions 1.
