Detailed explanation-1: -Transcription is the process by which the information in a strand of DNA is copied into a new molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA).
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -During transcription, a piece of DNA that codes for a specific gene is copied into messenger RNA (mRNA) in the nucleus of the cell. The mRNA then carries the genetic information from the DNA to the cytoplasm, where translation occurs.
Detailed explanation-4: -Messenger RNA (abbreviated mRNA) is a type of single-stranded RNA involved in protein synthesis. mRNA is made from a DNA template during the process of transcription.
Detailed explanation-5: -An mRNA transcript is a single strand of RNA that encapsulate the information contained in a gene. Think of an mRNA transcript as a portable gene: smaller and more mobile than the DNA sequence that it is built from, but containing the same information.
