1. 5-4 Notes: TRANSCRIPTION (DNA  RNA)

2. RNA Video

3. Transcription
Definition: Genetic information found in a specific gene (DNA) is rewritten in the form of RNA.
Location: nucleus
Enzymes Involved: RNA Polymerase

4. Step 1
1. RNA Polymerase binds to the promoter of the gene to start the process

5. Step 2
2. RNA Polymerase adds complimentary RNA nucleotides to the exposed DNA template

6. Step 3
3. RNA Polymerase reaches the terminal (stop) signal that marks the end of the gene and stops transcription
