Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
RNA is transcribed from DNA in the nucleus. What is the name of the process thaty produces RNA?
A
Transcription
B
Translation
C
Replication
D
Mitosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Transcription is the process in which a gene’s DNA sequence is copied (transcribed) to make an RNA molecule. RNA polymerase is the main transcription enzyme. Transcription begins when RNA polymerase binds to a promoter sequence near the beginning of a gene (directly or through helper proteins).

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -In bacteria, RNA transcripts can act as messenger RNAs (mRNAs) right away. In eukaryotes, the transcript of a protein-coding gene is called a pre-mRNA and must go through extra processing before it can direct translation.

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.
