Among the two stands of `DNA`, the one that contains gene is called the coding strand. The other one, which is complementary to the coding stand, is called the template strand. The template strand directs the synthesis of complementary strand of `RNA` called the messanger `RNA`. This process is called

A

mutation

B

replication

C

transcription

D

translation
