Key Concepts

Transcription

Transcription is the biological process in which the genetic information encoded in DNA is copied into a complementary RNA sequence. This process, carried out by enzymes such as RNA polymerase, is the first step in gene expression, leading to the production of RNA molecules that can function in various roles including acting as messengers for protein synthesis.

Messenger RNA

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a type of RNA that serves as an intermediary between the genetic information stored in DNA and the protein-producing machinery of the cell. It is synthesized during transcription and carries the genetic code from the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm, where it directs the assembly of amino acids into proteins.
