WHAT IS IEC 60601-1. IEC 60601 is a series of technical standards. for the safety and effectiveness of medical. electrical equipment. The primary standard governing medical device. design is IEC 60601-1 (medical electrical equipment. - Part 1: general requirements for basic safety and. essential performance).
Figure 1: A gene is expressed through the processes of transcription and translation. 1  During transcription, the enzyme RNA polymerase (green) uses DNA as a template to produce a pre-mRNA transcript (pink).
2. In this lesson, you will gain a thorough understanding of how transcription works. We will investigate how DNA is transcribed into RNA with the help of a promoter and RNA polymerase. Learn the purpose of messenger RNA and explore the three phases of transcription.
