Review the section "Investigating Life: Clues to the Origin of Language." Scientists found that FOXP2 codes for a transcription factor,
which is a protein that helps regulate the expression of other genes in eukaryotes. Label the components of the transcription Initiation
complex in the figure below by dragging and dropping labels to the correct answer boxes. Some labels will not be used
The punctuated line should be filled with the word 'messenger RNA' (mRNA). It is the final product of gene transcription.
What is gene transcription?
Gene transcription is the cellular process by which a fragment of DNA called gene is used as a template to create a complementary RNA molecule called messenger RNA (mRNA).
Subsequently, this mRNA travels to the ribosomes where it is used as a template to generate a protein by a process called translation.
In eukaryotes, gene transcription is a complex process that involves different types of enzymes (e.g., RNA polymerase II to add specific nucleotides).
