Question

in the following diagram, what process is occurring to produce molecule 6?

transcription

translation

dna replication

cell respiration

Explanation:

• Transcription is the process where DNA (molecule 3) is used as a template to synthesize RNA (molecule 6).
• In the diagram, molecule 6 is formed from molecule 3 (DNA) within the nucleus (structure 2).
• Translation (involving ribosomes and tRNA) occurs later for protein synthesis. DNA replication would produce DNA copies. Cell respiration is about energy production.

Answer:

Transcription
