Answer:
TRANSCRIPTION
Explanation:
Transcription is the first process that occurs in the expression of a gene. It involves the synthesis of a mRNA molecule from a DNA template. The DNA molecule, which is located in the nucleus of an eukaryotic cell, is bound to by an enzyme called RNA polymerase in order to synthesize an mRNA molecule/strand.
RNA polymerase synthesizes a mRNA molecule using complementary base pairing rule i.e. Uracil base (U) is synthesized when Adenine (A) is read, Adenine when Thymine (T) is read, Guanine (G) when cytosine (C) is read, Cytosine when guanine is read. These nucleotide bases are then joined together via chemical bonding.
In a nutshell, RNA polymerase catalyzes the formation of a bond between the backbone sugar of one nucleotide base to the backbone phosphate of another nucleotide base in the metabolic process of TRANSCRIPTION.
