DNA MAKES RNA MAKES PROTEIN

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which information transfer doesn’t occur in a cell?
A
DNA to DNA
B
DNA to Protein
C
DNA to RNA
D
All occur in a live cell
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -So, the correct option is ‘Production of mRNA’.

Detailed explanation-3: -The process of Transcription takes place in the cytoplasm in prokaryotes and in nucleus in eukaryotes. It uses DNA as a template to make an RNA (mRNA) molecule. During transcription, a strand of mRNA is made that is complementary to a strand of DNA .

Detailed explanation-4: -Cell division is the mechanism by which DNA is passed from one generation of cells to the next and ultimately, from parent organisms to their offspring. Although eukaryotes and prokaryotes both engage in cell division, they do so in different ways.
