Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the central dogma of molecular biology, which describes the flow of genetic information in cells from DNA to RNA to protein.
Identify the process that involves the synthesis of RNA from a DNA template. This process is known as transcription.
Differentiate between transcription and other processes: Transcription is the synthesis of RNA from DNA, replication is the duplication of DNA, translation is the synthesis of proteins from mRNA, and translocation refers to the movement of a segment of DNA to a new position.
Recognize that during transcription, an enzyme called RNA polymerase reads the DNA template strand and synthesizes a complementary RNA strand.
Conclude that the process which produces a complementary RNA sequence from a DNA sequence template is transcription.
