Answer:
genetic information is encoded as the sequence of nucleotides in DNA molecule
Definition: "Copying of information from DNA to RNA which exit nucleus is known as transcription"
Explanation: Transcription is a vital process for living organisms, because it is a staring point for protein synthesis. It occurs inside the nucleus and is carried out by RNA polymerase enzyme. In eukaryotes RNA pol is of three types: these are RNA Pol 1, RNA Pol 2, and RNA Pol 3. In prokaryotes it is of only one type.
Steps in transcription: Transcription consists of three main steps
1. Initiation: In this step RNA pol attach to DNA template at 5 prime end in the promoter region to start the formation of complementary strand of RNA. In prokaryotes there is a region called

When a cell divides by way of mitosis, it produces two clones of itself, each with the same number of chromosomes. When a cell divides by way of meiosis, it produces four cells, called gametes. Gametes are more commonly called sperm in males and eggs in females.
Answer:
The TATA box is an alternating sequence of Adenine and Guanine nucleotides that transcription factors bind to. The TATA box is found just before a gene. The transcription factors tell the RNA polymerase where to bind to begin transcription. This ensures the RNA polymerase will know where to start and which gene to transcribe.
