Question

What is the purpose of transcription??

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is option C. To form RNA molecules from DNA molecule.

Explanation:

The main function of transcription is to form ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules from deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecule present in the nucleus. In transcription, small part of DNA is copied and attached to the RNA molecule with the help of enzymes i. e. RNA polymerase.

Answer 2

Answer:C. To from RNA molecules from DNA

Explanation: Transcription is the process of converting the genetic message in a DNA into a complementary RNA molecule. This process takes place in the nucleus and is catalyzed by an enzyme known as RNA polymerase. There are basically three classes of RNA that can be synthesized from a DNA molecule: transfer RNA (tRNA) which gets the corresponding amino acid from the cytosol and attaches it to the growing polypeptide chain; the messenger RNA (mRNA) which serves as a template for the synthesis of a protein molecule and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) which is a part of the ribosome. Ribosome is a cell organelle where proteins are synthesized.
