Solution
Transcription is the transfer of genetic code from a DNA molecule to RNA molecule.
Explanation:
Transcription is the process by which a complementary RNA strand (usually mRNA) is synthesised from a DNA template by RNA polymerase; it transfers the genetic information from DNA into RNA, which is later used for translation into protein.
