Transcription is the copying of genetic information from the form of DNA to the form of RNA. Remember that RNA is a single-stranded molecule; it doesn't have a complementary strand like DNA does. It's only half a ladder, or a single strand of nucleotides. In order to make the RNA strand, we only need one of the original DNA strands. We'll talk later about which DNA strand to use, but for now, we just need to know that one will be called the sense strand, and the other will be called the antisense strand. The antisense strand is the strand of DNA that serves as the template during the process of transcription. The RNA will become a compliment of the antisense strand. This means, with a minor exception we'll address later, it will essentially be a copy of the sense stand.
