It uses one strand (darker orange) as a template to create the single-stranded messenger RNA (green). In molecular biology, RNA polymerase (abbreviated RNAP or RNApol), or more specifically DNA-directed/dependent RNA polymerase (DdRP), is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactions that synthesize RNA from a DNA template.
Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA. The segments of DNA transcribed into RNA molecules that can encode proteins produce messenger RNA (mRNA). ). Other segments of DNA are transcribed into RNA molecules called non-coding RNAs (ncR
Allergies to cats, a type of animal allergy, are one of the most common allergies experienced by humans.Among the eight known cat allergens, the most prominent allergen is secretoglobin Fel d 1, which is produced in the anal glands, salivary glands, and, mainly, in sebaceous glands of cats, and is ubiquitous in the United States, even in households without cats.

Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease that affects vertebrates. [6] [7] [3] Human malaria causes symptoms that typically include fever, fatigue, vomiting, and headaches.
Three sequences, UAG, UGA, and UAA, known as stop codons, [note 1] do not code for an amino acid but instead signal the release of the nascent polypeptide from the ribosome. [7] In the standard code, the sequence AUG—read as methionine —can serve as a start codon and, along with sequences such as an initiation factor , initiates translation.
Child pornography (also called CP, child sexual abuse material, [1] CSAM, [2] child porn, kiddie porn) is erotic material that depicts persons under the designated age of majority.
Bleeding time may be affected by platelet function, certain vascular disorders and von Willebrand Disease—not by other coagulation factors such as haemophilia.Diseases that may cause prolonged bleeding time include thrombocytopenia, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), Bernard-Soulier disease, and Glanzmann's thrombasthenia.
