transription

• • Involves the production of single-stranded mRNA from DNA
  • This process occurs within the nucleus
• • Rna polymerase binds to the promoter region causing the DNA to unwind within the gene
• • RNA polymerase moves along the template DNA strand to form a complementary single-stranded pre-mRNA strand using RNA nucleotides (T is replaced with U)
• • RNA polymerase detaches the termination site causing the DNA to rewind the pre-mRNA is processed to produce mature mRNA
• • The mature mRNA moves from the nucleus through the nuclear pores into the cytoplasm
