Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transcription is the process of making an RNA copy of a DNA sequence. This process is initiated by RNA polymerase, an enzyme that binds to a specific region of the DNA called the promoter. DNA polymerase is an enzyme that is involved in DNA replication. Helicase is an enzyme that unwinds the double-stranded DNA, while transfer RNA is involved in protein synthesis. Exons are the coding regions of DNA that are transcribed into RNA.
