Question 1 • 26-27 Biology A

Which process is part of translation but not transcription?

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

Explanation

Translation uses the information in an mRNA molecule to assemble an amino acid chain. Transcription, by contrast, uses a DNA template to make mRNA, as described in choice A. Therefore, the process unique to translation is using an mRNA template to create an amino acid chain.
