Transcription of a gene (Part 2)

An enzyme, RNA polymerase, uses one strand of DNA as a template to synthesize a pre-mRNA molecule.


Transcription site fin. 3’ .B. a Growing RNA transcript (C) What happened in the gene region? RNA polymerase catalyzed the covalent bonding of many nucleotides to one another to form an RNA strand.The base sequence of the new RNA strand is complementary to the base sequence of its DNA template—a copy of the gene. @Csngegs Leem'ng.
