St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix-the three islands known to many as the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the reason millions of travelers head to the Caribbean every year.
This copying process is called transcription and the copy is mRNA. Transcription takes place in the cytoplasm (prokaryote) or in the nucleus (eukaryote). The transcription is performed by an enzyme called RNA polymerase. To make mRNA, RNA polymerase: 1  Binds to the DNA strand at a specific sequence of the gene called a promoter. 2  Unwinds and unlinks the two strands of DNA. 3  Uses one of the DNA strands as a guide or template.
Transcription. Transcription is a process that involves the transcribing of genetic information from DNA to RNA. There are three main steps to the process of transcription. First, DNA is transcribed by an enzyme called RNA polymerase. Specific nucleotide sequences tell RNA polymerase where to begin and where to end.hereas most types of RNA are the final products of their genes, messenger RNA (mRNA) is an intermediate in the information transfer process. It carries information from DNA to the ribosome in a genetic code that the protein-synthesizing machinery translates into protein.
