Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process of converting a sequence of nucleotides in a section of DNA to a sequence of nucleotides in RNA is known as transcription. This process involves the production of a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule that carries the genetic information from the DNA to the ribosome, where it will be used as a template for protein synthesis. Translation, on the other hand, is the process by which the mRNA sequence is used as a template to synthesize a specific protein. Therefore, Option D, transcription, is the correct answer.
