Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transcription is the process by which DNA information is copied into messenger RNA (mRNA). This mRNA then leaves the nucleus and enters the cytoplasm where it directs protein synthesis. Neither the DNA nor the transfer RNA (tRNA) is directly involved in protein synthesis. DNA does not pass its information to another strand of DNA, instead, it replicates itself to produce a new copy of DNA. Lastly, while a new cell may contain a copy of DNA, transcription specifically refers to the process of copying DNA information into mRNA.
