What name is given to the process in which a strand of DNA is used as a template for the manufacture of a strand of pre-mRNA?

In molecular biology messenger RNA is a single-stranded molecule of RNA that corresponds to the genetic sequence of a gene and is read by a ribosome in the process of synthesizing a protein. Transcription is the process of copying a gene from the DNA into mRNA. This process is slightly different in eukaryotes and prokaryotes including that prokaryotic RNA polymerase associates with DNA-processing enzymes during transcription so that processing can proceed during transcription. …

Pre-mRNA is synthesized from a DNA template in the cell nucleus by transcription. Pre-mRNA comprises the bulk of heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA). Once pre-mRNA has been completely processed it is termed “mature messenger RNA” or simply “messenger RNA”. The term hnRNA is often used as a synonym for pre-mRNA …

When referring to DNA transcription the coding strand is the DNA strand whose base sequence is identical to the base sequence of the RNA transcript produced (although with thymine replaced by uracil). It is this strand which contains codons while the non-coding strand contains anticodons. During transcription RNA Pol II binds to the non-coding template strand reads the anti-codons and transcribes their sequence to synthesize an RNA transcript with complementary bases.

One strand of the DNA the template strand (or noncoding strand) is used as a template for RNA synthesis. As transcription proceeds RNA polymerase traverses the template strand and uses base pairing complementarity with the DNA template to create …

In molecular biology RNA polymerase (abbreviated RNAP or RNApol and officially DNA-directed RNA polymerase) is an enzyme that synthesizes RNA from a DNA templat…
