Document Summary
Promoter is immediately upstream of where transcription begins and rna polymerase binds and transcribes, the same rna polymerase can transcribe all the various types of genes. Act only after they have been transcribed after which they base pair w/themselves and form a hair- pin loop. Translation initation does not use scanning, but rather the rrna ribosomal subunit finds the region of the start codon directly by base pairing w/ a specific ribosome binding site on the mrna which is upstream of the start codon. Elongation stage of translation is faster in prokaryotes than eukaryotes. Are able to regulate the production of proteins very quickly in response to changing environmental conditions since there is nuclear envelope and so transcription and translation can be coupled very closely. Transcribe and process mrna in the nucleus before exporting it to the cytoplasm for translation. There are different polymerases for transcribing for transcribing different genes (rna polymerase.
