Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA, which is the first step in protein synthesis.
Recognize that transcription involves three main stages: initiation, elongation, and termination.
Identify that initiation is the first stage of transcription, where the RNA polymerase enzyme binds to the promoter region of the DNA, signaling the start of RNA synthesis.
During initiation, the DNA strands unwind, and the RNA polymerase begins to synthesize the RNA strand by matching RNA nucleotides with their complementary DNA bases.
Remember that initiation sets the stage for the subsequent steps of elongation and termination in the transcription process.
