Question
In prokaryotes and eukaryotes, describe what else is happening to the RNA while RNA polymerase is synthesizing a transcript from the DNA template.
Step 1
This means that while the RNA polymerase is synthesizing the RNA transcript from the DNA template, the ribosomes are already beginning to translate the RNA into a protein. This process begins at the 5' end of the RNA molecule. Show more…
