Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The production of mRNA that occurs in the nucleus is called
A
Transcription
B
Translation
C
Replication
D
Protein Synthesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Transcription is the process by which the information in a strand of DNA is copied into a new molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). DNA safely and stably stores genetic material in the nuclei of cells as a reference, or template.

Detailed explanation-2: -The process of making mRNA from DNA is called transcription, and it occurs in the nucleus. The mRNA directs the synthesis of proteins, which occurs in the cytoplasm. mRNA formed in the nucleus is transported out of the nucleus and into the cytoplasm where it attaches to the ribosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -mRNA levels are determined by two distinct processes: transcription, catalyzed by RNA polymerase II (Pol II), and mRNA decay. Transcription occurs in the nucleus whereas the major mRNA decay pathways operate in the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-4: -During transcription, a piece of DNA that codes for a specific gene is copied into messenger RNA (mRNA) in the nucleus of the cell. The mRNA then carries the genetic information from the DNA to the cytoplasm, where translation occurs.

Detailed explanation-5: -Transcription is the process by which DNA is copied (transcribed) to mRNA, which carries the information needed for protein synthesis.
