Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The process of making an mRNA strand from a DNA template is called
A
Replication
B
Transcription
C
Translation
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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transcription has three stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. In eukaryotes, RNA molecules must be processed after transcription: they are spliced and have a 5’ cap and poly-A tail put on their ends. Transcription is controlled separately for each gene in your genome.
