Please help me make an abstract using the information below it is the result and discussion of the experiment, the abstract should contain 150 words. THANK YOU! In the laboratory, the researchers identified the parts of the DNA and RNA structure. DNA structures compose of a nitrogenous base, the base pair joined by hydrogen bonds, a deoxyribose sugar, and a phosphate group. The deoxyribose sugar attaches to a phosphate group to form the double-helix backbone of the DNA. On the other hand, the deoxyribose sugar is attached to either one of the four nitrogenous bases. These are either the purines (adenine or guanine) containing two carbon-nitrogen rings and four nitrogen atoms or the pyrimidines (cytosine or thymine) containing one carbon-nitrogen ring and two nitrogen atoms (Purines vs. pyrimidines, 2022). Each purine is paired with a pyrimidine resulting in an equal total number for each as stated by Chargaff’s rule. Each pair is called the base pair joined by a weak hydrogen bond which paves way for easier separation of DNA for replication (copying DNA to DNA) and transcription (copying DNA to RNA) (DNA models, n.d.). Moreover, the researchers also identified the components of DNA while undergoing replication. The template strand, replication fork, newly synthesized strand, daughter DNA molecule, and incoming nucleotide are the structures present during this stage. The process by which DNA duplicates itself, resulting in two identical DNA molecules, is known as DNA replication.  This process is vital as two new daughter cells must have the same genetic information or DNA as the parent cell. Additionally, replication allows all strands to be used as a template for duplication. The replication process begins with the unwinding of DNA, which is achieved by the enzyme helicase by breaking hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous base pairs. Following this,  a primase synthesizes a short segment of RNA called a primer, which marks the start of constructing a new DNA strand. Moreover, DNA Polymerase III creates the leading strand and begins replicating DNA by matching bases to the original strand. Exonuclease removes the primers after synthesis is complete, and DNA Polymerase I replaces them with DNA nucleotides. The DNA ligase then seals any fragments in the DNA strands, forming a continuous double strand. DNA replication is a significant process where no mistakes or mutations are allowed; therefore, the cells assure that the newly synthesized DNA is not damaged. After the replication of the DNA in a cell, it can now split into two, each of which has a newly synthesized strand and a parental DNA. Furthermore, the components for DNA transcription were also recognized. The coding DNA strand, RNA strand, RNA polymerase, DNA helix unwinding, and DNA template strand are the components of the transcription process. DNA transcription is the process in which the information in a DNA template strand is used to copy into a new messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule (DNA transcription, n.d.).

The coding DNA strand, RNA strand, RNA polymerase, DNA helix unwinding, and DNA template strand are the components of the transcription process. DNA transcription is the process in which the information in a DNA template strand is used to copy into a new messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule (DNA transcription, n.d.). It starts with the initiation stage in the promoter region (TATA box for eukaryotes while Pribnow box for prokaryotes) and signals RNA polymerase II to unwind the DNA. Following with the elongation stage, the same RNA polymerase II molecule synthesizes the mRNA by pairing cytosine with guanine and adenine with uracil. This forms a single RNA strand designated by the color purple in the figure above. Finally, the mRNA will detach itself once the RNA polymerase reaches the terminator region, in the process called termination (Stages of transcription, n.d.). The mRNAs are readily synthesized for prokaryotes. However, they undergo further modifications for eukaryotes such as the addition of a modified guanine (5’ cap) and 3’ poly-A tail and RNA splicing, which is the removal of non-coding segments known as introns. This prepares the mRNA before leaving the nucleus and entering the ribosomes—the site for protein synthesis.
