Transcription and translation, the two main processes involved in protein synthesis, have distinct molecular inputs and outputs.
Which statement about inputs and outputs in these processes is true? A. DNA is an input for the process of transcription and an output for the process of translation.
B. DNA is an input for the process of translation and is not involved in the process of transcription.
C. Messenger RNA is an output for the process of transcription and an input for the process of translation.
D. Messenger RNA is an input for the process of transcription and is not involved in the process of translation.
C. Messenger RNA is an output for the process of transcription and an input for the process of translation.
Explanation:
Transcription is where DNA is copied to form RNA. Translation is the process where mRNA is converted to proteins. Therefore mRNA is the output of transcription and the input of translation.
