During transcription, DNA unwinds, and RNA polymerase binds to the promoter to synthesize mRNA by pairing RNA nucleotides with the DNA template. This continues until a termination signal is encountered. The mRNA then undergoes processing (splicing, capping, polyadenylation) before moving to the cytoplasm for translation.

make this really small
