Question

2. The diagram shows the process of transcription, which takes place in the nucleus of a cell. What is occurring?

a) RNA is being used as a template to make a molecule of tRNA.
b) DNA is being used as a template to make a molecule of mRNA.
c) DNA is being used as a template to make a chromosome.

Answer 1

It's B.  Transcription is turning DNA into mRNA.

Answer 2

b) DNA is being used as a template to make a molecule of mRNA.

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure shown in the image above is showing a transcription process. In this picture, a DNA molecule opens at the point where the gene to be transcribed is located. This is due to the action of RNA polymerase, which promotes the opening and exposure of nucleotide sequences that will be transcribed. At this point, it is important to note that only one strand of DNA will be used for synthesis. This strand will be the model for building a complementary RNA molecule to it.
