Question

figure a:
identify the process called \step 1\ in figure a above.
replication
transcription
translation
duplication

Explanation:

Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA. In Figure A, Step 1 shows the synthesis of RNA from a DNA template, which matches the definition of transcription. Replication involves making a copy of DNA. Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from RNA. Duplication is not a standard term for this biological process.

Answer:

transcription
