In cases of polymeric molecules, such as collagen, dominant negative mutations are often more harmful than mutations causing the production of no gene product null mutations or null alleles. Terminate when the rna polymerase encounters a code signaling the end of the gene, it stops transcription and releases the mrna transcript. Transcribe as the dna strand is processed through the rna polymerase, the rna polymerase builds a singlestrand copy of the gene, called the mrna transcript.
