Question

Which student identified the correct order of events?

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Tyrone:

1. Information stored in DNA
2. Transcription
3. Translation
4. Gene Expression

Explanation:

Central Dogma of Molecular Biology:

• The central dogma of molecular biology is the scheme that illustrates the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to protein. The processes include:
• Genetic information is stored in DNA in the form of nucleotide bases.
• This DNA sequence is converted into RNA sequence through a process called transcription. Transcription produces an mRNA which is complementary to the DNA sequence of the gene but contains ribonucleotides.
• mRNA is read in the form of codons which are triplet codes of nucleotide bases specific for a specific amino acid. These codons are decoded and translated into proteins through the process of translation.
• Both processes of transcription and translation combined with post-translational modifications of proteins is termed as gene expression.
