Question

Word Roots and Origins The word transcription is

Answer 1

Answer:

Transcription is the second step in central dogma of molecular biology. First step is replication, second is transcription, and third is translation.

In the transcription phase, DNA, which is already replicated, is transcribed to mRNA which is required to make proteins in the translation phase. The root words say it is a combination of "across" and "write". This means that DNA is going to be written in a new language "mRNA". So, this term has been used in biological process because it is the re-writing across the whole DNA to make a completely new strand of mRNA.
