Target: I will be able to explain the purpose and process of Transcription
RNA Transcription: the process of making mRNA from a section of DNA.
The section of DNA (gene) is coding for a specific protein.
DNA cannot leave the nucleus, but mRNA can.
Transcription is how DNA gets the instructions to the ribosome.
Codon: 3 bases on mRNA that code for a particular amino acid.

5. Transcription Step-by-Step
DNA section unwinds and unzips.
RNA Polymerase (an enzyme) bonds the nucleotides (sugar+phosphate+base) of mRNA to the complimentary strand of DNA.
A bonds to U, T bonds to A, C bonds to G, and G bonds to C.
mRNA stops when a stop codon is made.
DNA rewinds to form the double helix.
mRNA leaves the nucleus.
