The process in which a complementary copy of the code from a gene is produced by RNA Polymerase in the nucleus:
Correct answer: A. Transcription
- A. Transcription
- B. Translation
- C. Proofreading
- D. DNA Replication
Explanation
Transcription, is when RNA polymerase makes a copy of a gene on a template DNA strand in the nucleus; this copy is messenger RNA.

About Chromosomes
Chromosomes are DNA-protein structures that carry genes and become visible during cell division. Coverage includes chromatin, centromeres, sister chromatids, homologous chromosomes, chromosome number, and the distinction between diploid and haploid cells, with links to DNA replication, mitosis and meiosis.
