DNA MAKES RNA MAKES PROTEIN

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During transcription, ____ is converted to ____
A
sugars; ATP
B
DNA; mRNA
C
mRNA; protein
D
codons; anticodons
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During transcription, the enzyme RNA polymerase (green) uses DNA as a template to produce a pre-mRNA transcript (pink). The pre-mRNA is processed to form a mature mRNA molecule that can be translated to build the protein molecule (polypeptide) encoded by the original gene.

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: -In transcription, the DNA sequence of a gene is transcribed (copied out) to make an RNA molecule.
