In transcription, the DNA sequence of a gene is transcribed (copied out) to make an RNA molecule.
An in-depth looks at how transcription works. Initiation (promoters), elongation, and termination.

Transcription involves rewriting genetic information from DNA to mRNA, with RNA polymerase playing a crucial role. In eukaryotic cells, DNA to mRNA transcription occurs within the nucleus, producing pre-mRNA. This pre-mRNA undergoes processing, including the addition of a 5' cap, a poly-A tail, and splicing out introns, resulting in mature mRNA, which then leaves the nucleus for protein ...
The molecule that's directly made by transcription in one of your (eukaryotic) cells is called a pre-mRNA, reflecting that it needs to go through a few more steps to become an actual messenger RNA (mRNA).
Between transcription and post-transcriptional modifications, the mRNA is called a primary transcript. It's important to know though that many of the normal processing steps for mRNA do happen co-transcriptionally, instead of after, like adding the 5' cap and performing alternative splicing.
The first stage of gene expression is transcription, during which a gene’s nucleotide sequence is transcribed, or copied, into an mRNA molecule. The enzyme primarily responsible for transcription is RNA polymerase. RNA polymerase uses one of a gene’s DNA strands—the template strand—to build a complementary mRNA molecule.
Depending on how long ago the continental island formed, the life on that island may have diverged greatly from the mainland due to natural selection. Humans have lived on and traveled between islands for thousands of years at a minimum.
Island, any area of land smaller than a continent and entirely surrounded by water. Islands may occur in oceans, seas, lakes, or rivers. A group of islands is called an archipelago. Islands may be classified as either continental or oceanic. Learn more about islands in this article.
