Which specific biological process did Kornberg illuminate?
Protein folding
Membrane transport
Eukaryotic transcription
Photosynthesis
Answer
**Eukaryotic transcription**, the process by which DNA is copied into RNA in cells with a nucleus and numerous chromosomes, was illuminated by Kornberg. This fundamental biological mechanism involves reading the DNA code and synthesizing a complementary RNA molecule. Kornberg's discoveries greatly contributed to our understanding of gene expression and laid a foundation for advancing fields such as genomics and molecular biology.
