6-6 Protein Synthesis: Transcription (Cambridge AS & A Level Biology, 9700)

For the purpose of the exam, the steps of Transcription are as follows: - The gene unwinds, and the template strands of the DNA are exposed - The free RNA nucleotides form complementary base pairings with the template strand - The RNA Polymerase joins the free RNA Nucleotides together, forming phosphodiester bonds - The mRNA that is synthesized detaches from the template strand, and the gene recoils
