Question

in what process of protein synthesis is a single strand of dna used as a template to make mrna?
a splicing
b translation
c transcription

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Splicing is the process of removing introns from pre - mRNA, not related to making mRNA from DNA.
• Option b: Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA, where ribosomes and tRNA are involved, and it does not use DNA as a template to make mRNA.
• Option c: Transcription is the process in which a single - stranded DNA is used as a template to synthesize mRNA. RNA polymerase reads the DNA template and synthesizes a complementary mRNA strand.

Answer:

c. Transcription
