Transcription

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to copy a recipe from an old family cookbook to share it with a friend. Just like copying a recipe, transcription involves creating an RNA copy from a DNA template. In this analogy, the original recipe book is like the DNA, the handwritten copy you make is like the RNA, and the process of writing it down is akin to the transcription process. Just as you carefully replicate the recipe word for word to ensure your friend can recreate the dish accurately, transcription ensures that the instructions within the DNA are precisely copied into RNA for further use in protein synthesis.
