We're investigating the eukaryotic gene PPtrl, which codes for the Rbbl protein. You painstakingly derived a segment of the transcribed sequence of this gene, which is listed below. What would be the mRNA sequence that corresponds with this segment?

coding 5' A T G C G T A A T G C T A 3'

template 3' T A C G C A T T A C G A T 5'

mRNA 5' A U G C G U A A U G C U A 3'

a. What you do about this particular PPtrl gene, describe how the process of transcription initiation would go for this gene.

b. Would this RNA transcript be edited/processed prior to use in translation? How did you know that?

The process of transcription initiation would go like this:

Let me edit this question later to share my notes.

Explanation:

Would this RNA transcript be edited/processed prior to use in translation? How did you know that?
