Why is RNA synthesis called transcription and protein synthesis called translation?Multiple ChoiceRNA synthesis happens in the nucleus and protein synthesis happens in the cytoplasm.That is what someone named them a long time ago.RNA synthesis makes a complementary copy of the DNA using nucleic acid, and protein synthesis uses the information in the RNA to make a different type of molecule.RNA synthesis makes an exact copy of the DNA molecule, and protein synthesis makes a complementary copy of the RNA.RNA synthesis makes a complementary copy of the entire DNA molecule, and protein synthesis only uses a short piece of the RNA molecule.

The correct answer is: "RNA synthesis makes a complementary copy of the DNA using nucleic acid, and protein synthesis uses the information in the RNA to make a different type of molecule."

This is because during transcription (RNA synthesis), the DNA sequence of a gene is transcribed (copied) into RNA. The RNA molecule produced is complementary to the DNA strand and is a copy of the other DNA strand (which is identical to the gene).

On the other hand, during translation (protein synthesis), the RNA molecule serves as a template for the synthesis of a protein. The sequence of the RNA molecule is translated into the amino acid sequence of a protein. This involves a change of language, from the nucleotide language of the RNA to the amino acid language of proteins, hence the term "translation".
