The RNAP (photocopier) latches onto the first nucleotide [T] on the template strand and copies it in ‘negative’ form - [A]

The RNAP then moves to the next nucleotide [A] and copies that in ‘negative’ form [U]

The RNAP moves along the opened DNA strands, copying the nucleotides one by one as it does so
