Which pathway correctly represents protein synthesis? (Points : 3) DNA to proteins to RNA RNA to DNA to proteins proteins to RNA to DNA DNA to RNA to proteins
DNA to RNA to Proteins
First step is called transcription
Second step is called translation
Answer: The correct answer is-
DNA to RNA to proteins
According to the central dogma of biology, transfer of genetic information is a two step process, which includes transcription and translation.
It represents a pathway of protein synthesis, where the genetic material DNA is first transcribed to form mRNA ( messenger RNA) using an enzyme called RNA polymerase. This process is called transcription.
mRNA is then translated to form protein ( polypeptide) at the site called ribosome. This process of conversion of mRNA to protein is called translation.
Thus, the correct pathway for the protein synthesis is-
DNA to RNA to proteins.
