What are the two steps of protein synthesis that produce a protein from a gene?
A)transcription and translation
B)replication and transcription
C)mitosis and cytokinesis
D)replication and translation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two steps of protein synthesis are transcription and translation. Transcription occurs in the nucleus where DNA is used as a template to create mRNA. The mRNA then moves out of the nucleus and into the cytoplasm, where it is used as a template to create a protein during the process of translation. Replication is the process of copying DNA before cell division, and mitosis and cytokinesis are both part of the process of cell division. Therefore, choices B, C, and D are incorrect.
