Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Replication is a step in DNA replication, not transcription. Transcription involves the synthesis of RNA from a DNA template, with the steps being initiation (binding of RNA polymerase to the promoter), elongation (addition of RNA nucleotides to the growing RNA chain), and termination (release of the RNA transcript). Unwinding of the DNA double helix is also necessary for transcription to occur.
