Structure of RNA
Ribose- the sugar molecule of every RNA nucleotide
Uracil- nitrogen-containing pyrimidine base (replaces thymine)
Uracil pairs with adenine in RNA

Types of RNA
Messenger RNA (mRNA)- consists of RNA nucleotides in the form of a single uncoiled chain
Carries genetic information from DNA in the nucleus to the cytosol

Transfer RNA (tRNA)- consists of a single chain of about 80 RNA nucleotides in a hairpin shape
Binds to specific amino acids
45 varieties

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)- most abundant form of RNA
Consists of globular RNA nucleotides
Makes up the ribosomes where proteins are made

Transcription
Transcription- the process by which genetic information is copied from DNA to RNA
RNA polymerase binds to the promoter of a specific gene
A complimentary copy of the DNA base sequence is made

Steps of Transcription
RNA polymerase- the primary transcription enzyme
Synthesizes RNA copies of specific sequences of DNA
![Page 8: RNA Chapter 10.2. Structure of RNA Ribose- the sugar molecule of every RNA nucleotide Uracil- nitrogen-containing pyrimidine base (replaces thymine) Uracil](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082611/56649f065503460f94c1c6ef/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Promoters- specific regions of DNA where RNA polymerase binds to
Marks the beginning of a single gene
When RNA polymerase binds to DNA, the DNA separates and one side acts as a template

Termination signal- a specific sequence of nucleotides that marks the end of a gene
At a termination signal, RNA polymerase releases the DNA and the newly formed RNA molecule

Products of Transcription
Transcripts- the different types of RNA molecules
Instructions for making a protein are copied from DNA to mRNA
