Question

Which process begins when an enzyme binds to a sequence of base pairs in DNA? A. translation because this process will transcribe DNA to RNA B. translation because this process will translate DNA to protein C. transcription because this process will transcribe DNA to RNA D. transcription because this process will translate RNA to protein

Answer 1

The answer is C. transcription because this process will transcribe DNA to RNA.

Transcription is a process of transcribing DNA to RNA. Translation is a process of translation mRNA to protein. Therefore, through the process of elimination, the correct choice is C). When an enzyme binds to a sequence of base pairs in DNA, transcription begins. As the result, DNA is transcribed to mRNA which will later be translated to protein during the process of translation.
