Which of the following options best depicts the flow of information when a gene directs the synthesis of a cellular component? A) RNA → DNA → RNA → protein B) DNA → RNA → protein C) protein → RNA → DNA D) DNA → amino acid → RNA → protein E) DNA → tRNA → mRNA → protein

Respuesta :

Answer:

B) DNA → RNA → protein

Explanation:

  • Gene directs the synthesis of a cellular component through what is called gene expression.
  • During gene expression, information from the DNA is used to synthesis proteins, through the process of transcription followed by translation.
  • Transcription is the process that involves use of information carried by DNA to generate messenger RNA, in the nucleus of a cell. Then translation which uses the information carried by the mRNA to generate proteins in the organelles known as ribosomes.
