    Transcription is the process of creating an mRNA copy of a gene's DNA sequence. It occurs in the nucleus, where RNA polymerase brings in free nucleotides to copy the DNA template and create a single-stranded mRNA molecule using uracil in place of thymine. The mRNA then travels to the ribosomes after being synthesized.
