Study Notes
Transcription Overview
- Transcription is the process where a cell makes working copies of genes by copying DNA into messenger RNA (mRNA).
Stages of Transcription
- Initiation: RNA polymerase binds to the DNA at the promoter and begins copying the gene into RNA.
- Elongation: RNA polymerase adds nucleotides to form the RNA strand, complementary to the DNA template.
- Termination: RNA polymerase reaches a stop signal, releasing the RNA.
mRNA's Role
- This mRNA is then used to make proteins during translation.
