Explanation:

Formation of RNA from DNA is called 👉 Transcription.

Transcription is the biological process in which RNA is synthesized from a DNA template using the enzyme RNA polymerase.

📌 Key Points:

  • ✅ Occurs in the nucleus (in eukaryotes)
  • ✅ Involves mRNA, tRNA, or rRNA
  • ✅ Enzyme involved: RNA polymerase
  • ✅ First step in gene expression.
