DNA-RNA transition

The DNA-RNA transition is a biological process where the information stored in DNA, which acts as the genetic blueprint in cells, is temporarily transferred to RNA. This process, called transcription, involves copying a specific segment of DNA into a complementary RNA molecule. The RNA then carries this message out of the nucleus to the cell's machinery, where it guides the production of proteins. This transition is essential for gene expression, allowing cells to produce the proteins they need for growth, repair, and function.
