During the process of transcription, the information in

A) a protein is converted into RNA.
B) RNA is converted into a protein.
C) RNA is converted into DNA.
D) DNA is converted into RNA.
E) DNA is converted into a protein.

Transcription

The process by which the information in a strand of DNA is copied into a new molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA).

Protein

Large biomolecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues essential for the structure, function, and regulation of the body's cells, tissues, and organs.

RNA

Ribonucleic acid, a molecule essential for various biological roles including coding, decoding, regulation, and expression of genes.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
During transcription, the information encoded in DNA is copied into RNA, specifically messenger RNA (mRNA), which will later be used in the process of protein synthesis. Therefore, DNA is being converted into RNA during transcription.
