Correct Answer: Transcription


Solution : The correct option is Transcription.

In normal cells, the process of the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA is called transcription. Transcription is the first step in gene expression, during which a specific segment of DNA is used as a template to synthesise a complementary RNA molecule. This RNA molecule, known as messenger RNA (mRNA), carries the genetic code from the DNA to the ribosomes, where it serves as a template for protein synthesis in a process called translation.
