The figure below shows the flow of genetic information in a eukaryotic cell.The transfer of information from DNA into an RNA molecule is known as ______. 
A) DNA replication 
B) transcription 
C) polypeptide 
D) translation

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transcription is the process by which genetic information in DNA is transcribed into an RNA molecule. This RNA molecule can then be translated into a polypeptide (protein) through the process of translation. DNA replication involves the copying of DNA before cell division, and translation involves the assembly of a polypeptide based on the sequence of codons on an mRNA molecule. Therefore, the correct answer is B, transcription.
