  3. Ctransduction
  4. Dtranscription

Correct answer

B. replication

Step-by-step solution

DNA multiplication or duplication of DNA takes place by replication. It takes place during S-phase of interphase during cell-cycle. DNA replication is semi-conservative was strongly evidenced by Mathew Meselson and Franklin Stahl in 1958 in E. coli. Transcription is the mode by which DNA passes its genetic information to mRNA. It is the first step in protein synthesis which takes place in nucleus of eukaryotic cells. Translation is the synthesis of a chain of polypeptide by mRNA. It is the process when protein synt
