Solution Preview
First, RNA must be synthesized from the DNA template:
Ribonucleotides: adenosine-, guanosine-, cytidine-, and uridine- triphosphates (ATP, GTP, UTP)
RNA polymerase: finds the initiation site on the DNA template strand, separates the DNA, initiate chain synthesis and add ribonucleotides to the chain
Transcription factors: proteins required to help RNApol find/bind the ...
