Please place the following events in transcription in the correct order.

A.) RNA polymerase binds to the promoter region just upstream of the gene.
B.) RNA polymerase moves along the template strand of DNA adding complementary RNA nucleotides, extending the mRNA.
C.) RNA polymerase unwinds the DNA at the promoter site and begins to transcribe the template strand of DNA.
D.) The mRNA transcript is released.
E.) Transcription continues until a terminator site in the DNA is reached.
