Transcription

Transcription is the copying of DNA to RNA in the cell. The DNA is unzipped, and a protein called RNA Polymerase binds to the single strand of DNA and proceeds to build a strand of RNA off of the DNA template. Once the DNA has been transcribed, the RNA polymerase falls off, and the DNA rebinds to itself to form a double stranded molecule.
