Explanation:
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: -In biology, the process by which a cell makes an RNA copy of a piece of DNA. This RNA copy, called messenger RNA (mRNA), carries the genetic information needed to make proteins in a cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -During transcription, the enzyme RNA polymerase (green) uses DNA as a template to produce a pre-mRNA transcript (pink). The pre-mRNA is processed to form a mature mRNA molecule that can be translated to build the protein molecule (polypeptide) encoded by the original gene.
