Los peroxisomas tienen por función

Los peroxisomas juegan un papel clave en la oxidación de biomoléculas específicas. También contribuyen a la biosíntesis de lípidos de membrana conocidos como plasmalógenos. En las células vegetales, los peroxisomas llevan a cabo funciones adicionales, incluido el reciclaje de carbono del fosfoglicolato durante la fotorrespiración.

step 1: initiation

initiation is the beginning of transcription. it occurs when the enzyme rna polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter. this signals the dna to unwind so the enzyme can ‘‘read’’ the bases in one of the dna strands. the enzyme is now ready to make a strand of mrna with a complementary sequence of bases.

step 2: elongation

elongation is the addition of nucleotides to the mrna strand. rna polymerase reads the unwound dna strand and builds the mrna molecule, using complementary base pairs. there is a brief time during this process when the newly formed rna is bound to the unwound dna. during this process, an adenine (a) in the dna binds to an uracil (u) in the rna.

step 3: termination

termination is the ending of transcription, and occurs when rna polymerase crosses a stop (termination) sequence in the gene. the mrna strand is complete, and it detaches from dna.

a unit of heredity that is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring.
