Question

value: 2
what is the first step of protein synthesis called?
○ a. translation
○ b. transcription
○ c. replication
○ d. elongation

Explanation:

Protein synthesis has two main steps. Transcription is the first step where DNA is used to make mRNA. Translation is the second step where mRNA is used to make proteins. Replication is for DNA copying, not protein synthesis. Elongation is part of translation, not the first step.

Answer:

B. Transcription
