Simple answer is RNA polymerase makes the RNA in a similar way to DNA polymerase III does for DNA. if you want to know the nitty gritty details then it will take a semester or a few lessons in a uni level genetics class.

Transcription occurs in the cell nucleus where DNA is housed. Think of DNA as instructions to build hardware (proteins), unfortunately, these instructions are in another language and incomprehensible to the workers that will eventually assemble the hardware.

Transcription occus in the nucleus of the cell. Here DNA is converted to a strand of mRNA to be translated in the ribosome.

The genetic information stored in DNA is transcribed into messenger Rna that is then transported to the cytoplasmic Ribosomes for translation.

Where in the cell does transcription and translation happen?

In prokaryotes (cells without nuclei), both transcription makes RNA from DNA and translation makes proteins from mRNA in the cytoplasm. In eukaryotes (cells with nuclei), transcription occurs in the nucleus, while translation occurs in the ribosomes of the cytoplasm.
