C
Replication
D
Splicing
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of mRNA: mRNA, or messenger RNA, is a type of RNA that carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where proteins are synthesized.
Identify the process of transcription: Transcription is the process by which mRNA is synthesized from a DNA template. This occurs in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
Recognize the role of RNA polymerase: RNA polymerase is the enzyme responsible for reading the DNA template and synthesizing the mRNA strand during transcription.
Differentiate transcription from other processes: Translation is the process where mRNA is used to synthesize proteins, replication is the process of copying DNA, and splicing involves modifying mRNA after transcription.
Conclude that transcription is the correct process: Based on the definitions and roles of each process, transcription is the one where mRNA is synthesized from a DNA template with the aid of RNA polymerase.
