Question

The process of copying genetic information from one strand of the $DNA$ into $RNA$ is termed as:

• A. Translation
• B. Transmination
• C. Replication
• D. Transcription
• E. Deamination

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

The process of copying genetic information from one strand of the $DNA$ into $RNA$ is termed as transcription. Unlike the process of replication, which once sets in, the total $DNA$ of an organism gets duplicated, in transcription only a segment of $DNA$ and only one of the strands is copied into $RNA$.
