Final answer:

The stages of RNA synthesis occur in the order of initiation, elongation, and termination.

Step-by-step explanation:

The stages of RNA synthesis occur in the following order:

  1. Initiation: RNA polymerase binds to the promoter region of a gene, signaling the DNA to unwind and allowing the enzyme to read the bases in one of the DNA strands.
  2. Elongation: Nucleotides are added to the mRNA strand as RNA polymerase reads the unwound DNA strand and builds the complementary mRNA molecule.
  3. Termination: RNA polymerase detaches from the DNA when it reaches a termination sequence, completing the mRNA strand.
