Transcription System

A transcription system is the biological process by which a cell converts genetic information from DNA into messenger RNA (mRNA). This process involves enzymes reading a specific DNA segment and synthesizing a complementary RNA strand. The mRNA then carries this genetic code from the nucleus to the cell's protein-making machinery. Transcription ensures that the genetic instructions stored in DNA are accurately conveyed to produce proteins, which are essential for the structure and function of living organisms. It’s a fundamental step in gene expression, allowing cells to respond and adapt to their environment.
