Question

question 1 - 4
in order for protein synthesis to occur, both transcription and translation must occur. which of the following statements describes the difference between transcription and translation?
○ in transcription, the genetic code of a dna molecule is encoded. translation is the process of converting the dna code into a code that rna can use.
○ in transcription, an amino acid chain is encoded in a dna molecule. translation is the process of turning the amino acids into nucleic acids in an rna molecule.
○ in transcription, a double helix dna molecule is split into two separate single strands. translation is the process of joining each single dna strand with a single strand of matching rna.
○ in transcription, the genetic code of a dna molecule is transferred to a messenger rna molecule. translation is the process of creating an amino acid chain using the encoded messenger rna.

Explanation:

Transcription is the process where the genetic code of a DNA molecule is transferred to a messenger RNA molecule. Translation is the process of using the encoded messenger RNA to create an amino - acid chain.

Answer:

In transcription, the genetic code of a DNA molecule is transferred to a messenger RNA molecule. Translation is the process of using the encoded messenger RNA.
