question 5 of 10
how does the process of translation convert information?
a. from an rna code to a dna code
b. from an amino acid code to a nucleic acid code
c. from a nucleic acid code to an amino acid code
d. from a dna code to an rna code

Explanation:

Translation is the process in which the information in DNA (a nucleic acid code) is used to synthesize proteins (amino acid code). DNA is first transcribed into RNA, and then during translation, the RNA (specifically mRNA) is used as a template to assemble amino acids into a polypeptide chain (protein). So the process of translation converts information from a nucleic acid code (DNA/RNA) to an amino acid code (protein). Option D correctly describes this conversion.

Answer:

D. From a DNA code to an RNA code
