Question: Select the correct answer for each blank: The process of copying segment of DNA within the nucleus into a strand of mRNA is known as translation/transcription. The process of whereby stands of mRNA are used to synthesize a strand of amino acids that will eventually form a protein, is known as transcription/translation.
