Answer #1

Answer) The three structural components of an RNA nucleotide monomer are :
A nitrogenous base
A pentose ribose sugar
A phosphate group
In a RNA monomer the nitrogenous base is attached to ribose sugar which further attaches to the phosphate groups.
The four bases of RNA are adenine, uracil, guanine, and cytosine.

RNA polymerase is an enzyme used in the process of transcription, it binds to DNA sequence and unwinds it, synthesises RNA sequence from DNA template. RNA polymerase have many different functions during transcription like addition of nucleotide to the growing chain of RNA, coping DNA, unwinding and separating DNA and so on.

The translocation rate of RNA polymerase II is 30 nucleotides per second for a gene you study that is 50,000 nucleotides in length. This gene contains 3 exons and 2 introns. The translocation rate of the ribosome on the resulting mRNA is also 30 nucleotides per second. Assuming that the translocation rates of RNA polymerase II and the ribosome are the rate limiting steps in their respective processes, which process (transcription or translation) do you expect to produce more product...
