Homework Assignment #3 (20 points). Due date say a 1. How does RNA polymerase differ from DNA polymerase? List at least five differences (2 points). 2a) Draw a picture of a transcription bubble labeling the sense and antisense strands, and indicate which strand is transcribed by RNA polymerase and which represents the sequence corresponding to the transcription factor binding site(s) (3 points). 2b) Write the sequence of the mRNA transcript given by the following gene segment (3 points): Initiation site STATAATGCGCCCATCATGCCGCTAGATTAGA3 'ATATTACGCGGGTAGTACGGCGATCTAATCTS 3. Name three different catalytic RNAs and the reaction they catalyze (2 points).

Explanation / Answer

Question 1

Answer

The differences between RNA polymerase and DNA polymerase

S.No RNA polymerase DNA polymerase 1 It is an enzyme used in the DNA transcription It is an enzyme used in the DNA replication 2 transcription leads to the formation of single strand RNA It involved in the formation of double-stranded DNA 3 It uses the RNA nucleotide to produce new RNA It uses the DNA nucleotide to produce DNA 4 it is active during the growth phase of the cell cycle that is G1 and G2 phase It is active during S phase of the cell cycle 5 there is exonuclease activity there is exonuclease activity. 6 it does not require a primer for initiation it requires a primer for initiation 7 RNA polymerase I and V require for synthesis DNA polymerase I and III are mainly involved in replication
