Question

Which of the following is related to the formation of RNA by DNA?

• A. Translation
• B. Transcription
• C. Replication
• D. Transduction

Hint:

In transcription, mRNA is synthesized using the DNA template, which later guides protein synthesis during translation.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understand the process.
Transcription is the process where RNA is synthesized from a DNA template. This is the first step in protein synthesis.
Step 2: Review the options.
- Translation refers to the process by which mRNA is translated into a protein at the ribosome, not the synthesis of RNA itself.
- Transcription is the correct answer as it directly involves the synthesis of RNA from a DNA template.
- Replication refers to the process of copying DNA, not RNA synthesis.
- Transduction is a process of gene transfer in bacteria, unrelated to RNA formation.
Step 3: Conclude.
Transcription is the process in which RNA is formed from DNA, making option (B) the correct answer.
Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{Transcription}} \]
