Lesson 3: Protein Synthesis

Question 23 • [HSBIO] Biology, Sem 1 (26-27)

Which process is part of transcription?

Answer
A
DNA is copied to create a second DNA strand.
B
mRNA codons and tRNA anticodons assemble amino acids.
C
DNA is unzipped with the aid of DNA polymerase.
D
mRNA is synthesized from a strand of DNA.

Explanation

Transcription is the process of making RNA using DNA as a template. In particular, an mRNA strand is synthesized from one strand of DNA, so choice D is correct. Choice B describes translation, when mRNA and tRNA help assemble amino acids into a protein.
