Q: In normal cells, the process of the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA is called:
  • A. Transcription
  • B. Translation
  • C. Translocation
  • D. Transportation
Correct Answer: Option A - Transcription is the first of several steps of DNA based gene expression in which a particular segment of DNA is copied into RNA by the enzyme RNA polymerase. Both DNA and RNA are nucleic acid, which use base pairs of nucleotides as a complementary language. The transcription process is followed by translation in which m-RNA copies of the gene then serve as blue prints for protein synthesis during this process. Transcription takes place in three steps– • Initiation • Elongation • Termination.
