The RNA world hypothesis states that the earlier life-forms had relied only on RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) for the purpose of catalyzing the chemical reactions, and storing the genetic information. This hypothesis was proposed by Leslie Orgel, Carl Woese, and Francis Crick.

This hypothesis states that long before the living forms evolved to use DNA as the genetic storage material, the RNA molecules served the purpose of both storing the genetic information and carrying out catalysis, but because of its instability, DNA evolved.

Hence, the answer is RNA world hypothesis.

The diagram below shows some of the steps in protein synthesis.
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

According to the diagram shown, the section of DNA used to make the mRNA strand is known as a gene (option 2).

Explanation:

Gene consists of a DNA fragment that codes for the synthesis of a specific protein that defines the structural or functional trait of a living being.

When DNA is transcribed into mRNA, each section of transcribed DNA is part of a gene. The information travels to ribosomes in the cytoplasm where protein synthesis occurs.

A complete DNA molecule forms a chromosome, which contains the genes with information to define specific traits of a species.

The other options are not correct because:

<em>     1.Carbohydrate is a biomolecule that is not involved in the genetic process. </em>

<em>     3. Ribosome is where protein synthesis occurs. </em>

<em>     4. Chromosome is the complete DNA molecule.</em>
