Transcription

Answer 2

The process of copying genetic information from one strand of the $DNA$ into $RNA$ is termed as transcription. Unlike the process of replication, which once sets in, the total $DNA$ of an organism gets duplicated, in transcription only a segment of $DNA$ and only one of the strands is copied into $RNA$.
