Part A:
Arrange the steps of transcription of DNA to synthesize mRNA. Rank the steps of transcription of DNA to synthesize mRNA.
1. DNA double helix unwinds to expose the nucleotide bases
2. RNA polymerase identifies the start sequence
3. RNA polymerase adds bases that are complementary to the DNA template
4. RNA polymerase identifies the termination sequence
5. mRNA strand and RNA polymerase are released
