Transcription And Translation Quiz With Answers - Quiz

Here is an interesting Transcription and Translation quiz that is designed to predict how well you comprehend the transcription and translation of DNA in Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes. Translation and Transcription are two common biology topics. Transcription is the process by which DNA is copied to RNA whereas translation is the process by which RNA is used to produce proteins. Do you think, you have a good understanding of both these processes? Let's test your knowledge with this quiz. Just answer a few simple questions in this quiz and see how well you score. All the best!
