Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Copying DNA to RNA is called ____
A
transcription
B
translation
C
duplication
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: -Transcription, as related to genomics, is the process of making an RNA copy of a gene’s DNA sequence. This copy, called messenger RNA (mRNA), carries the gene’s protein information encoded in DNA.

Detailed explanation-3: -The process by which DNA is copied to RNA is called transcription, and that by which RNA is used to produce proteins is called translation.

Detailed explanation-4: -DNA transcription is involved in replicating the DNA into RNA, while DNA replication makes another copy of DNA. Both processes are involved in the production of new nucleic acids-DNA or RNA.
