Transcription uses RNA polymerase to create an mRNA strand from a single DNA template, substituting uracil for thymine.
During RNA transcription, RNA polymerase facilitates the synthesis of mRNA from one DNA strand, using uracil (U) instead of thymine (T).

|---|---|
| Back | - facilitated by RNA polymerase - only 1 strand of DNA is transcribed - makes mRNA (U instead of T base) |
