Answer:

Transcription is the process by which DNA is copied (transcribed) to mRNA, which carries the information needed for protein synthesis. Transcription takes place in two broad steps. ... The pre-messenger RNA is then "edited" to produce the desired mRNA molecule in a process called RNA splicing.

Step-by-step explanation:

During transcription, the RNA polymerase read the template DNA strand in the 3'→5' direction, but the mRNA is formed in the 5' to 3' direction. The mRNA is single-stranded and therefore only contains three possible reading frames, of which only one is translated.
