The process by which nucleic acids are made is known as transcription. An enzyme known as RNA polymerase binds to a specific region of DNA known as the promoter and unwinds the DNA double helix. After reading the DNA template strand, RNA polymerase adds nucleotides one at a time to create a complementary RNA molecule, which is called messenger RNA (mRNA). This RNA molecule carries the genetic information from the DNA to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm, where it acts as a template for the synthesis of proteins during translation.
