how is mRNA different from DNA?

DNA is made up of deoxyribose sugar but mRNA is made up of ribose sugar. DNA has thymine as one of the two pyrimidines while mRNA has uracil as its pyrimidines base.

describe the process of transcription

 Initiation:

• RNA polymerase binds to DNA at a specific sequence of nucleotides

Elongation:

• Only one of the unmound DNA strands acts as a template for the RNA

Termination:

• RNA polymerase continues to elongate until it reaches the terminator, a specific sequence of nucleotides that signals the end of transcription

in what way was our model inaccurate? how did it do a good job?

the models we made were in accurate because they did not exactly show properly how transcription takes place with the unwinding mid way down he strand, but it did show the helicase and the polmerase which is accurate.
