Question

why is rna synthesis called 'transcription' and protein synthesis called 'translation?' multiple choice rna synthesis makes an exact copy of the dna molecule and protein synthesis makes a complementary copy of the rna. rna synthesis makes a complementary copy of the dna using nucleic acid and protein synthesis requires the information in the rna to be changed into a different type of molecule. rna synthesis involves enzymes and protein synthesis involves ribosomes. rna synthesis happens in the nucleus and protein synthesis happens in the cytoplasm. rna synthesis makes a complementary copy of the entire dna molecule and protein synthesis only uses a short piece of the rna molecule.

Answer 1

RNA synthesis makes a complementary copy of the DNA using nucleic acid, and protein synthesis requires the information in the RNA to be changed into a different type of molecule. (Option B).

What is transcription?

Transcription is the process in which cells make proteins and takes place in the nucleus. It uses DNA as a template to make an RNA molecule. This RNA molecule, called messenger RNA (mRNA), then leaves the nucleus and goes to a ribosome in the cytoplasm, where translation occurs.

Translation reads the genetic code in mRNA and makes a protein.
