Answer: GENE TRANSCRIPTION

Explanation:Gene transcription is a process through which genetic information of an organism is copied into different RNA(Ribonucleic acid) it is facilitated by enzymes called RNA POLYMERASE.

The following is the process involved

RNA polymerase uses DNA as a template r sample to produce a pre-mRNA transcript. The pre-mRNA is synthesized to produce a mature mRNA molecule translated to build the polypeptide encoded by the original gene.
