A) is called translation of the message.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

RNA synthesis from a DNA template is called transcription. Translation is the process of using the information in mRNA to synthesize a polypeptide chain. DNA polymerase is involved in DNA replication, not RNA synthesis. RNA synthesis occurs in the nucleus, specifically in the nucleoplasm, not the nucleolus. It then goes to the cytoplasm for translation.
