Answer:

Transcription is the process in which a gene's DNA sequence is copied (transcribed) to make an RNA molecule.

Step-by-step explanation:

Transcription uses one of the two exposed DNA strands as a template; this strand is called the template strand. The RNA product is complementary to the template strand and is almost identical to the other DNA strand, called the nontemplate (or coding) strand.
