DNA encodes the cell's genetic instructions for making proteins. The process of making proteins from DNA is divided into two stages called transcription and translation. Transcription is further divided into three steps called initiation, elongation, and termination. Classify the statements about transcription according to the step in which each occurs. Initiation Elongation Termination

Answer Bank
The RNA polymerase traverses the DNA template, adding complementary base pairs in the 5' to 3' direction.
The RNA polymerase stops adding base pairs when it reaches a certain DNA sequence that signals the end of the gene.
The RNA polymerase binds to the group of transcription factors at the promoter.
The RNA polymerase detaches from the DNA.
The RNA transcript is released.
The DNA double helix unwinds and RNA synthesis begins.
