Protein Synthesis

Question 9 • [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

During transcription, a cell uses one strand of DNA as a template to make a complementary mRNA molecule. Therefore, choice D, “mRNA is synthesized from a strand of DNA,” describes transcription. Choice B describes translation, when codons and anticodons help assemble amino acids.
