Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The process of creating a protein from RNA is called
A
transcription
B
translation
C
replication
D
reverse transcription
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The process of synthesizing a protein from RNA is known as translation. The ribosome decodes messenger RNA (mRNA), which is created by transcription, to make a specific amino acid chain, or polypeptide, which will subsequently fold into an active protein.

Detailed explanation-2: -Translation is the process by which a protein is synthesized from the information contained in a molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA).

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: -Translation is the process that takes the information passed from DNA as messenger RNA and turns it into a series of amino acids bound together with peptide bonds. It is essentially a translation from one code (nucleotide sequence) to another code (amino acid sequence).

Detailed explanation-5: -Translation is the second part of the central dogma of molecular biology: RNA
