Document Summary
It is kicked out if caught during replication, if not it results in a mutation. The only way to error check is if they build 5" to 3". In order to take a strand of dna and figure out what amino acids will be produced you need to know: How to turn a strand of dna into rna (tagccaa becomes aucgguu) Contains the code to build one polypeptide chain. Specific (it is specific to the particular protein or polypeptide chain that it is trying to make) Rna polymerase binds to the promoter site (tata box) Rna polymerase builds the new strand 5" to 3" with complementary rna nucleotides. When rna polymerase reaches the termination sequence it leaves the dna and so does the rna. Remember that you are not converting dna into rna. You are using dna as a template to create rna. The dna sequence 5" attgc would be transcribed as.
