Second, elongation involves RNA polymerase moving along the DNA template strand and adding the appropriate complementary RNA nucleotides. Third, termination occurs when the RNA polymerase reaches a termination signal on the DNA template strand, and the new mRNA is released to move onto the cytoplasm.
