In __________, the sequence of bases in DNA determines the sequence of bases in mRNA, and the process occurs in the __________.
A)mitosis; nucleus
B)cytokinesis; cytoplasm
C)translation; cytoplasm
D)transcription; nucleus

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process described in the question is transcription, which is the process by which the sequence of bases in DNA is used to create a complementary RNA sequence (mRNA). This process occurs in the nucleus. Mitosis is the process by which one cell divides into two identical daughter cells, cytokinesis is the physical division of the cytoplasm to form two separate cells, and translation is the process by which the sequence of bases in mRNA is used to create a chain of amino acids (a protein).

In __________, the Sequence of Bases in DNA Determines the Sequence
