Which of the following is thought to be generated by transcription chain elongation?
A)positive supercoils behind the transcription bubble
B)positive supercoils in front of the transcription bubble
C)negative supercoils in front of the transcription bubble
D)a relaxed DNA during the transcription process

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As the RNA polymerase moves along the DNA template strand during transcription, it generates positive supercoils ahead of the transcription bubble due to the unwinding of the DNA double helix. These positive supercoils can cause stress and potentially hinder the transcription process if not resolved appropriately.
