1.4.8. Transcription
Transcription is the synthesis of mRNA from a DNA template. It is like DNA replication in that a DNA strand is used to synthesize a strand of mRNA. Only one strand of DNA is copied. A single gene may be transcribed thousands of times. After transcription, the DNA strands rejoin.Three steps are involved in transcription: initiation, elongation and termination.
