    Formation of RNA from DNA is known as :

    A)  transcription   

    B)  translation

    C)  replication     

    D)  recombination

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Formation of RNA from DNA is known as transcription. DNA \[\xrightarrow{\text{transcription}}\] RNA\[\xrightarrow{\text{translation}}\] Protein Transcription involves transfer of genetic information from DNA to m-R-NA. Translation is the synthesis of a polypeptide in association with a ribosome and directed by an m-RNA molecule with the help of f-RNA and several highly specific enzymes. Usually, in case of linked genes or characters, the production of new combinations of  genes or characters not present in the parents of a cross or generation, involves crossing over, known as recombination. Replication is the process of production of new copies of a macromolecule by exactly copying the   preexisting   macromolecule,   e.g., DNA \[\xrightarrow{{}}\] DNA or RN\[\xrightarrow{{}}\] RNA
