Transcription (biology) - Wikipedia During transcription, a DNA sequence is read by an RNA polymerase, which produces a complementary, antiparallel RNA strand called a primary transcript In virology, the term transcription is used when referring to mRNA synthesis from a viral RNA molecule
Transcription | Definition, Steps, Biology | Britannica Transcription, the synthesis of RNA from DNA Genetic information flows from DNA into protein, the substance that gives an organism its form This flow of information occurs through the sequential processes of transcription (DNA to RNA) and translation (RNA to protein)
Transcription - Definition, Types and Function | Biology Dictionary Transcription refers to the first step of gene expression where an RNA polymer is created from a DNA template This reaction is catalyzed by enzymes called RNA polymerases and the RNA polymer is antiparallel and complementary to the DNA template
Transcription - National Human Genome Research Institute Transcription, as related to genomics, is the process of making an RNA copy of a gene’s DNA sequence This copy, called messenger RNA (mRNA), carries the gene’s protein information encoded in DNA
10. 3: Steps of Transcription - Biology LibreTexts Understand the basic steps in the transcription of DNA into RNA The process of Transcription takes place in the cytoplasm in prokaryotes and in nucleus in eukaryotes It uses DNA as a template to make an RNA (mRNA) molecule During transcription, a strand of mRNA is made that is complementary to a strand of DNA Figure 1 shows how this occurs
