Briefly describe the dna transcription process, which involves the transfer of the dna genetic code onto an mrna molecule. include in this answer the role of enzymes.

In the simplest sense, expressing a gene means manufacturing its corresponding protein, and this multilayered process has two major steps. In the first step, the information in DNA is transferred to a messenger RNA molecule by way of a process called transcription. During transcription, the DNA of a gene serves as a template for complementary base-pairing, and an enzyme called RNA polymerase 2 catalyzes the formation of a pre-RNA molecule, which is then processed to form a mature RNA. The resulting RNA is a single-stranded copy of the gene, which next must be translated into a protein molecule.
