What is the process of transferring genetic information from DNA to RNA?

Replication

Transcription

Replication is the process by which DNA makes an exact copy of itself, it does not involve transferring genetic information to RNA. Translation is the process of using the mRNA as a template to assemble amino acids into a polypeptide chain, not the transfer of genetic information from DNA to RNA. Genetic recombination is the process by which DNA molecules are broken down and recombined to form new combinations of alleles, it is not directly involved in the transfer of genetic information from DNA to RNA. Therefore, the correct answer is B) Transcription. This is the process by which an RNA molecule is synthesized from a DNA template, thus transferring the genetic information from DNA to RNA.
