A) DNA replication
B) transcription
C) translation
D) meiosis

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Translation is the process by which the nucleotide sequence of mRNA is decoded to produce a sequence of amino acids, which ultimately determines the primary structure of a protein. DNA replication is the process by which DNA is copied during cell division. Transcription is the process by which DNA is used as a template to synthesize an RNA molecule. Meiosis is the process by which cells divide to form gametes with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. None of these processes involve the conversion of mRNA nucleotides into amino acids.
