DNA REPLICATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The process of making proteins on the ribosome based on the instructions from messenger RNA is called ____
A
transcription
B
replication
C
translation
D
mitosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Making proteins from mRNA is called translation.

Detailed explanation-3: -This process is called protein synthesis, and it actually consists of two processes-transcription and translation . In eukaryotic cells, transcription takes place in the nucleus .

Detailed explanation-4: -Protein synthesis is the process in which cells make proteins. It occurs in two stages: transcription and translation. Transcription is the transfer of genetic instructions in DNA to mRNA in the nucleus. It includes three steps: initiation, elongation, and termination.

Detailed explanation-5: -mRNA is created during transcription. During the transcription process, a single strand of DNA is decoded by RNA polymerase, and mRNA is synthesized.
