Transcription

• Definition Genetic information found in a
  specific gene (DNA) is rewritten in the form of
  RNA.
• Location nucleus
• Enzymes Involved RNA Polymerase

4
Step 1

• 1. RNA Polymerase binds to the promoter of the
  gene to start the process

5
Step 2

• 2. RNA Polymerase adds complimentary RNA
  nucleotides to the exposed DNA template

6
Step 3

• 3. RNA Polymerase reaches the terminal (stop)
  signal that marks the end of the gene and stops
  transcription
