TranscriptionFrom DNA to RNA

• Transcription is the synthesis of RNA under the direction of DNA

• It takes place in the nucleus of a cell

Synthesis mean to make

In transcription you are adding complementary base pairs to the RNA• DNA RNA • A U• T A• C G• G C

The process

DNA- TAC ATC GTA CTA GAA mRNA- AUG UAG CAU GAU AUU

DNA- TAC CCG GGC AAA ACT

mRNA- AUG GGC CCG UUU UGA

DNADNA

When making DNA the bases bond up like this-DNA---> DNAA      --->  TT      --->  AC      --->  GG      --->  C

DNA RNA

When making RNA the bases bond up like this- DNA---> RNAA      --->  UT      --->  AC      --->  GG      --->  C
