RNA and Transcription
RNA Ribonucleic Acid another type of nucleic acid found in cells –also made of nucleotides takes information from the nucleus to the rest of the cell

Transcription process in which part of the nucleotide sequence of DNA is copied into a complementary sequence in RNA
Transcription during transcription, RNA polymerase binds to DNA at a promoter (start) site unzipping the DNA double strand
Transcription
RNA polymerase enzyme that produces RNA uses one of the DNA strands as a template from which RNA nucleotides are assembled to make mRNA –mRNA = messenger RNA Transcription Animation
RNA Editing before the mRNA can leave the nucleus it has to be edited –it receives a cap and a tail –introns are cut out and exons spliced together
RNA Editing Intron –sequence of DNA that is NOT involved in coding for a protein Exon –expressed sequence of DNA that codes for a protein
RNA Editing
