Detailed explanation-1: -The information in RNA, although copied into another chemical form, is still written in essentially the same language as it is in DNA-the language of a nucleotide sequence. Hence the name transcription.
Detailed explanation-2: -Transcription is the process by which the information in a strand of DNA is copied into a new molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). DNA safely and stably stores genetic material in the nuclei of cells as a reference, or template.
Detailed explanation-3: -Transcription is the process by which DNA is copied (transcribed) to mRNA, which carries the information needed for protein synthesis. Transcription takes place in two broad steps.
Detailed explanation-4: -Transcription begins when RNA polymerase binds to a promoter sequence near the beginning of a gene (directly or through helper proteins). RNA polymerase uses one of the DNA strands (the template strand) as a template to make a new, complementary RNA molecule. Transcription ends in a process called termination.
