This unzipping takes place in both directions from the replication origins, creating a replication bubble. The replication is therefore said to be bi-directional. Once the two strands are separated a small piece of RNA, called an RNA primer, is attached to the DNA by an enzyme called DNA primase. These primers are the beginnings of all new DNA chains since the enzyme responsible for the copying of the DNA, DNA polymerase, can not start from scratch.
Best Answer: The process is called transcription. In this process, the DNA of a gene is copied into a mRNA molecule. It is not exactly copying, since it does not produce an exact DNA copy, but it makes an RNA molecule instead (which has a slightly different chemical composition). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcripti... The enzyme that is involved in this process is called DNA dependent RNA polymerase or just RNA polymerase.
