Question

which process is part of translation but not transcription?
a dna template is used to create an mrna strand.
a trna template is used to create a dna strand.
a trna template is used to create an mrna strand.
an mrna template is used to create an amino acid chain.

Explanation:

• Transcription: DNA → mRNA.
• Translation: mRNA (template) → amino - acid chain (via tRNA).
• Analyze each option:
• Option A: DNA template for mRNA is transcription.
• Option B: tRNA is not used to create DNA.
• Option C: tRNA is not used to create mRNA.
• Option D: mRNA template for amino - acid chain is translation.

Answer:

D. An mRNA template is used to create an amino acid chain.
