Translationmination/teeate Futtor 3. Which one of these processes can have more then one way to end the process? a. Synthesis b. Transcription C. Translation

Explanation / Answer

1. a. The starting point of the DNA synthesis is called unwinding of DNA also called formation of replication fork. This takes place in the origin of replication. This region is rich in AT and this helps for the easy separation of parent strands by the enzyme helicase. After the unwinding of double helix, DNA polymerase binds to this region and synthesize new strands.

1 b. The starting point of transcription is called initiation.
