Why does transcription take place
DNA cannot leave the nucleus and therefore must be transcribed to mRNA to leave the nucleus.
Why is DNA essential to life
DNA is our genetic code.
Number of codons needed to specify 6 amino acids
6
During DNA replication, a DNA strang that has the bases ATTCGA produces a strand with the bases
TAAGCT
Organelle in the cell where transcription takes place
The nucleus
