The process of RNA transcription follows several steps: initiation, elongation, and termination. During initiation, RNA polymerase binds to a specific region of the DNA called the promoter. Once bound, the enzyme unwinds the DNA strands and begins synthesizing a complementary RNA strand. In the elongation phase, RNA polymerase moves along the DNA template, adding nucleotides to the growing RNA molecule. Finally, during termination, RNA polymerase reaches a stop signal, releasing the newly formed RNA transcript.
