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.
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.
