Question 11 • Biology

Which describes something that occurs during translation?

Answer
A
A DNA template is used to create an mRNA strand.
B
A tRNA template is used to create an mRNA strand.
C
An mRNA template is used to create an amino acid chain.
D
A tRNA template is used to create a DNA strand.

Explanation

During translation, a ribosome reads the codons on an mRNA strand and links amino acids together to form a chain. So an mRNA template is used to create an amino acid chain. Using DNA to make mRNA describes transcription, not translation.
