Title: In Class Activity: Transcription vs Replication
Course: Biochemistry > Section: Week 10- UNIT 4_3: Transcription

Purpose:

To differentiate Rho- independent termination and Rho-dependent termination

Over to you:

Use your laptop , go to the internet and search the difference between the two types of bacterial termination

Activity:

Transcription resembles replication in its fundamental chemical mechanism, direction of synthesis, and its use of a template. Transcription has three phases, initiation, elongation, and termination. Transcription differs from replication in that it does not require a primer and involves only limited segments of a DNA molecule. Additionally, within transcribed segments only one DNA strand serves as a template for a particular RNA molecule
