different from the production of mRNA in a prokaryote cell.
[2 marks]
0 1 . 3 Scientists produced a short, single-stranded, artificial nucleic acid, called PNA. The
PNA binds to a small section of DNA.
The scientists introduced PNA into cells and discovered that these cells produced
less mRNA than cells that did not contain PNA.
Suggest how PNA affected the transcription of the section of DNA.
