How DNA Makes RNA: The Process of Transcription

Miacademy & MiaPrep Learning Channel

This comprehensive biology video breaks down the complex process of DNA transcription, using a clear real-world analogy of protecting original documents to explain why cells create RNA copies. The video guides students through the Central Dogma of molecular biology, detailing how genetic information flows from DNA to RNA to protein. It specifically focuses on the first step of this journey: transcription, exploring the structural differences between DNA and RNA, and introducing the key players like RNA polymerase.
