Question

Compare and contrast the processes of transcription and RNA modification in bacteria and eukaryotes.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Step 1

Transcription is the formation of RNA (ribonucleic acid) over the template of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). It creates single-stranded RNA (ribonucleic acid) which has coded information similar to the sense or coding strand of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) with the exception that T is replaced by U. The DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) strand which functions as a template for RNA (ribonucleic synthesis) is called antisense strand. It has 3’→ 5’ polarity because of transcription proceed in 5’→3’ direction.

RNA (ribonucleic acid) modification is a molecular process through which some cells make a distinct change to a particular nucleotide sequence inside an RNA (ribonucleic acid) molecule after it has been created by RNA (ribonucleic acid) polymerase.
