The process at Location 1, which involves the transformation of DNA into mRNA, is referred to as transcription. The purpose of this process is to transcribe the information contained in the DNA sequence so that it can be utilized by the cell.

Therefore, the correct response is:

C. Transcribing information in the DNA sequence for use by the cell.
