Answer:
1. RNA polymerase binds to the promoter.
2. DNA strands are unwound and separated
3. The complementary RNA nucleotides are added.
Take a look at the attached picture. First, the RNA polymerase must bind to the promoter region to initiate the whole process. DNA must be unwound by DNA helicase, then it will make the RNA transcript, which consists of adding the complementary RNA nucleotides to the DNA strand. Then the transcript leaves the nucleus and begins translation.
