Question
All of the following are true about transcription EXCEPT:
The process occurs in the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells.
The promoter sequence recruits TATA binding protein and other transcription factors.
Initiation of transcription is complete when the transcription complex has been formed.
Initiation complex forms at the AUG (start codon).
RNA polymerase adds nucleotides to the growing primary transcript.
The process occurs in the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells.
The promoter sequence recruits TATA binding protein and other transcription factors.
Initiation of transcription is complete when the transcription complex has been formed.
Initiation complex forms at the AUG (start codon).
RNA polymerase adds nucleotides to the growing primary transcript.
Explanation / Answer
Initiation complex forms at the AUG (start codon).
Initiation complex starts much upstream of AUG in the DNA which is start point for translation of mRNA and not transcription.
