5. Place the stages in the proper order to describe
the process of transcription.
a. The complex of RNA polymerase and
proteins breaks apart.
b. RNA polymerase uses the DNA
strand as a template to synthesize a
complementary strand of RNA.
c. The DNA is unwound and a specific
sequence of nucleotides is sequenced
along the promoter.
d. A large complex consisting of RNA
polymerase and other proteins
assembles on the DNA strand.
e. The RNA strand grows until an entire
gene has been transcribed.
