(b) Translation
(c) Transduction
(d) Migration
Answers
‘Transfer of information’ from DNA to RNA is called Transcription.
Answer: Option (a)
Explanation:
RNA stands for Ribonucleic acid. RNA is synthesized from deoxyribonucleic acid in every cells. This step is known as transcription. The enzyme required for this process is DNA dependent ‘RNA polymerase’. RNA synthesized is usually again converted back into proteins in the ribosome of the cell by the process of translation.
It is used in conversion of the information stored in DNA to encode a particular protein. RNA can also be converted back to DNA in certain cells by the enzyme RNA dependent DNA polymerase.
Answer:
Transfer of information from DNA to RNA is called (a) Transcription
Explanation:
The process in which DNA sequence of a gene is copied out to form RNA molecule is known as transcription. Usually only one strand DNA is copied. The enzyme responsible for the transcription of small segments of DNA into RNA is known as RNA polymarase. In order to create a new, complementary RNA molecule, RNA polymerase requires one of the DNA strands (the template strand). It ends in the process of termination. Termination relies on the RNA sequences, which mean that the transcript is complete.
