Which Process Transfers Information from RNA Molecules to Proteins

Question

Which process transfers information from RNA molecules to proteins?
A) Replication
B) Transcription
C) Translation
D) Splicing
E) None of these

Accepted Answer

Translation is the process of converting information encoded in RNA molecules into proteins. During translation, the ribosome reads the information in the mRNA and uses it to synthesize a specific protein. Replication is the process of copying DNA, transcription is the process of making RNA from DNA, and splicing is the process of removing and joining together different parts of RNA. None of these processes directly transfer information from RNA to proteins.
