Transcription is the process of synthesizing messenger RNA (mRNA) from a DNA template. It involves the enzyme RNA polymerase, which binds to the DNA at a specific location called the promoter and then reads the template strand of the DNA, using complementary base pairing to assemble a single-stranded RNA molecule. This mRNA molecule carries the genetic information from the DNA out of the nucleus and into the cytoplasm, where it can be translated into a protein. Replication is the process of copying DNA, duplication is not a defined biological process, and translation is the process of using mRNA information to synthesize a protein.
