During transcription, The RNA is synthesized in 5' to 3' direction, while the DNA template is read in 3' to 5' direction. 
Transcription is the process by which the information in a strand of DNA is copied into a new molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). DNA safely and stably stores genetic material in the nuclei of cells as a reference, or template. 
The three basic stages of transcription are; Intiation where the RNA polymerase binds DNA at a specific sequence of nucleotides called the promoter.
Then Elongation , where only one of the unmound DNA strands acts as a template for the RNA synthesis.
Then Termination
