The Long Count calendar is a system that counts 5 cycles of time. This is very similar to the Gregorian calendar system that counts days, months, years, centuries and millennia. The Maya system also does this, but the difference is in the name and magnitude of the various cycles.
Transcription produces a single-stranded RNA molecule known as messenger RNA, whose nucleotide sequence is complementary to the DNA from which it was transcribed. The mRNA acts as an intermediate between the DNA gene and its final protein product. The gene's DNA is used as a template to generate a complementary mRNA.
The starting point for transcription, where RNA polymerase unwinds the DNA and begins to make a complementary mRNA copy, is the promoter site; the region of DNA that is the endpoint of transcription is the terminator site; mRNA is synthesized in the 5â to 3â direction.uring transcription, the enzyme RNA polymerase synthesizes a strand of messenger RNA (mRNA) using one strand of the gene as a template.
