DNA is composed of nucleotides and each nucleotide is made up of three parts: a 5-carbon sugar called deoxyribose, a phosphate group, and one of the nitrogenous base-adenine (A), guanine (G) cytosine (C), or thymine (T). When it comes to the structure of DNA, building block-nucleotides are attached together to form two long strands that spiral to create a structure known as a double helix. If double helix structure is a ladder, the phosphate and sugar molecules would be the sides, while the nitrogenous bases would be the rungs. The bases on one strand pair with the bases on another strand: A pairs with T, and G pairs with C (complementary bases).
Transcription is a process in which a DNA molecule is copied into RNA (especially mRNA) by the enzyme RNA polymerase. Transcription is the first step of gene expression. The process uses base pairs of nucleotides as a complementary language. During transcription, a complementary, antiparallel RNA strand called a primary transcript is formed and it can be modified in order to be mature transcript ready for translation.
