Synthesis of DNA to mRNA is known as :

  • A.Translation
  • B.Transportation
  • C.Fertilization
  • D.Transcription

Answer: D

Synthesis of mRNA from DNA is transcription.

In transcription, RNA polymerase reads a gene on the DNA template and builds a complementary messenger RNA molecule. This is the first step of gene expression.

Translation is the next step, in which ribosomes read the mRNA to make a protein. 'Transportation' is not a stage of gene expression, and fertilization is the union of egg and sperm.
