The stages of transcription as a clay model

These are the three stages of transcription, a process where the genetic instructions stored in a segment of DNA are copied into a complementary molecule of messenger RNA. The first stage is when the RNA polymerase starts at the promoter region and starts unzipping sections of the DNA as it moves along the helix. Then the mRNA is built up from the template strand until we reach the terminator region and the RNA polymerase detaches along with the mRNA strand then the mRNA strand lets/detaches the introns and develops caps. Stage two: The mRNA strand makes its way to the nucleus and leaves via a nuclear pore. Stage three: The mRNA strand then makes its way to the ribosome and initiates translation.
