In a resting neuron, the inside of the cell is

positive relative to the outside of the cell because the myelin sheath around the axon carries a negative charge

negative relative to the outside of the cell because of differences in ionic composition of the fluids inside and outside of the cell

positive relative to the outside of the cell because only positively charged ions are allowed into the cell

negative relative to the outside of the cell because the myelin sheath around the axon carries a positive charge

More negatively charge than the outside.

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.
