In the introduction to the article, the authors write "Soon after the expansion of molecular biology in the 1950’s, it became ev

ident that by comparing proteins and nucleic acids of one species with those of another, one could hope to obtain a quantitative and objective estimate of the "genetic distance" between species". What did the authors mean? How do you "compare proteins and nucleic acids" (or how did you in 1975 when this article was written)?

Where does the protien-building begin? A. enzyme B. cytoskeleton C. DNA D. cell membrane
galben [10]

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Protein building begins on the DNA strand. Usually, the DNA contains genetic information which flows from nucleic acids to proteins in a series of steps:

1) Replication: this is the first step. It involves the copying of parental DNA into daughter copies.

2) Transcription: this is the second step. Here, parts of the coded genetic message in DNA are copied precisely in the form of RNA - in the form of messenger RNA (mRNA).

3) Translation: this is the third step. Here, genetic message coded in mRNA is translated, on the ribosomes, into a protein with a specific sequence of amino acids.

Simply put, DNA makes RNA, and RNA makes protein.
