Question

what is the purpose of transcription *

to make a copy of the instructions on dna so it can move out of the nucleus
to make a copy of trna
to make an amino acid strand(protein) from nucleic acid sequence
to make an exact copy of dna for the cell to divide
you may need this for some questions.

Explanation:

Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA. The RNA (mRNA) can then move out of the nucleus (in eukaryotes). Making an amino - acid strand (protein) from a nucleic - acid sequence is translation. Making a copy of tRNA is not the main purpose of transcription. Making an exact copy of DNA is DNA replication.

Answer:

to make a copy of the instructions on DNA so it can move out of the nucleus
