Chapter 8 Transcription and RNA splicing 1 Part I Prokaryote gene transcription The function of RNA polymerase is to copy one strand of duplex DNA into RNA. 3 Transcription involves synthesis of an RNA chain representing one strand of a DNA duplex. By representing we mean that the RNA is identical in sequence with one strand of the DNA, which is called the coding strand. It is complementary to the other strand, which provides the template for its synthesis. This relationship between double-stranded DNA and its single-stranded RNA transcript is recapitulated in Figure 9.1. 转录实现了表达DNA双螺旋中一条键的RN
