What is the main purpose of scientific models?

The scientific models specifically have a role in determining the outcomes in the circumstances where it would not be possible to perform experiments or treatments in order to obtain a result. These models utilize logical deduction and information in order to instigate some of the factors and formulate an outcome on the basis of the input. While these models are hypothetical, they rely upon the proven scientific information and can be close in determining the natural process.

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.
