    Jun 16, 2022 · Transcription is a biological process wherein a segment of the DNA is copied to mRNA. The general steps are initiation, promoter escape, elongation, and termination. During initiation, RNA polymerase binds to the promoter region of the DNA. A transcription bubble forms, opening the DNA strand and exposing a segment that will be transcribed.
