The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the term that describes the process of copying genetic information from one strand of DNA into RNA. 2. **Identifying the Process**: The process of copying genetic information from DNA to RNA is a fundamental biological process. This is a key step in gene expression. 3. **Defining the Term**: The specific term used to describe this process is "transcription." During transcription, the information encoded in the DNA is transcribed to produce RNA. 4. **Differentiating Related Processes**: - **Replication**: This is the process of copying DNA to create an identical copy of the DNA molecule. - **Translation**: This is the process where RNA is used to synthesize proteins. It occurs after transcription. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that the process of copying genetic information from one strand of DNA into RNA is termed as "transcription." **Final Answer**: Transcription ---
