The process wherein messenger RNQ (or mRNA) is given a message is called transcription. In this process, n mRNA molecule is made (or transcribed) using DNA as the template. Essentially, the nucleotide sequence on a gene is read by an enzyme called RNA polymerase which synthesizes the mRNA molecule. Put simply, RNA polymerase scans the length of DNA until a gene is encountered. When the enzyme reaches the correct position, it begins adding complimentary nucleotides to make the mRNA molecule. This way, the entire gene is transcribed and copied on to the mRNA molecule.
