In a eukaryotic cell, which of the following processes directly involves DNA?

The provided question lacks the options, however, the options associated with the question is as follows;

A. translation

B. cellular respiration

C. active transport of ions

D. replication of chromosomes

The correct answer is - D. replication of chromosomes.

Explanation:

During every cell division, either meiosis or mitotic the chromosomal DNA present in the nucleus is needed to be duplicated and the process that involves the duplication of this chromosomal DNA is known as replication of chromosome which takes place during the interphase of the cell division.

All other processes mentioned in the options are not involved or directly not involved in the processes. Translation involves the mRNA in the cytoplasm to produce amino acids with the help of ribosomes. Cellular respiration involves mitochondria and does not require DNA in the process.
