The process in which an RNA copy of the DNA sequence encoding the gene is produced:
Correct answer: B. Transcription
- A. Translation
- B. Transcription
- C. Polymerization
- D. Genesis
Explanation
Transcription is the process by which the information in a strand of DNA is copied into a new molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). DNA safely and stably stores genetic material in the nuclei of cells as a reference or template.

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.
