Which of the following options best depicts the flow of information when a gene directs the synthesis of a cellular component?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The flow of information when a gene directs the synthesis of a cellular component starts with the DNA containing the gene. Transcription copies the DNA sequence into RNA, specifically messenger RNA (mRNA), which carries the genetic information from the DNA out of the nucleus to the cytoplasm. Translation uses the mRNA sequence to build a protein by linking amino acids together in the order specified by the mRNA. Therefore, the correct order is DNA → RNA → protein. Option B is the only one that represents this correct flow.
