The process of copying genetic information from a DNA template to synthesize an RNA molecule is called transcription. This process is carried out by enzymes called RNA polymerases.
Knowing the central dogma of molecular biology (DNA -> RNA -> Protein) and the processes involved (replication, transcription, translation) is essential.
Replication is the process of duplicating DNA. Translation is the process of synthesizing protein from an mRNA template. Mutation is a permanent alteration in the DNA sequence.
