Process in which DNA makes RNA

Steps ​

  1. Transcription factors help recruit RNA polymerase to gene.
  2. RNA polymerase binds to the promoter region upstream of gene and begins unwinding DNA.

Region of DNA that includes the sequence TATAAAA in humans and start point

Elongation ​

5' to 3' continuous RNA synthesis

Termination ​

RNA polymerase transcribes the terminator region and unbinds from DNA.
