None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -The information in RNA, although copied into another chemical form, is still written in essentially the same language as it is in DNA-the language of a nucleotide sequence. Hence the name transcription.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Transcription is the transfer of genetic instructions on DNA into a strand of mRNA and not tRNA. the mRNA will carry the copy of the gene out to a ribosome while tRNA is responsible for delivering amino acids to the ribosome during the process of translation.
