Detailed explanation-1: -Transcription is the first step in gene expression. It involves copying a gene’s DNA sequence to make an RNA molecule. Transcription is performed by enzymes called RNA polymerases, which link nucleotides to form an RNA strand (using a DNA strand as a template).
Detailed explanation-2: -The process by which DNA is copied to RNA is called transcription, and that by which RNA is used to produce proteins is called translation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Portions of DNA Sequence Are Transcribed into RNA Hence the name transcription. Like DNA, RNA is a linear polymer made of four different types of nucleotide subunits linked together by phosphodiester bonds (Figure 6-4).
Detailed explanation-4: -DNA replication is the process by which the genome’s DNA is copied in cells.
