Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The order of bases in a gene is copied in a process called transcription to make mRNA (messenger RNA), which carries the genetic information from the nucleus to the ribosomes where it is translated into a protein. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, but they are not directly synthesized from the order of bases in a gene. A gene refers to the segment of DNA that contains the instructions for a specific trait or function, but it is not a product of transcription. Ribosomes are the cellular structures that carry out protein synthesis, but they are not directly synthesized from the order of bases in a gene either.
