Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transcription results in the production of mRNA, which carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes, where translation occurs. Translation involves the process of decoding the mRNA sequence to produce a polypeptide chain, which is comprised of amino acids assembled in a specific order dictated by the codons on the mRNA. Therefore, option C is the correct choice where transcription leads to mRNA, and translation leads to polypeptides.
