Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The process to go from DNA to mRNA is ____
A
translation
B
transcription
C
replication
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 is the process by which DNA is copied (transcribed) to mRNA, which carries the information needed for protein synthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -The process of transcription begins when an enzyme called RNA polymerase (RNA pol) attaches to the template DNA strand and begins to catalyze production of complementary RNA.

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.
