The synthesis of RNA through complementary base pairing is known as
A)semiconservative replication.
B)dispersive polymerization.
C)transcription.
D)translation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process of synthesis of RNA through complementary base pairing is known as transcription. Semiconservative replication refers to the process of DNA replication where each new DNA molecule contains one parent strand and one newly synthesized strand. Dispersive polymerization is not a known biological process. Translation refers to the process of protein synthesis, where the sequence of codons in mRNA is decoded to synthesize a specific protein. Therefore, the correct answer is C, transcription.
