Question

DNA contains instructions for making the different molecules, such as proteins, that a cell needs to grow and function. To use these instructions, the DNA must first be _______ into _______.

Answer 1

Transcribed, RNA
Transcription= converting strands of DNA into single coding strands of RNA

Answer 2

Answer : The correct answer for the blanks are-

Transcribed, mRNA (messenger RNA).

Transcription is a process of formation of mRNA (messenger RNA) using a template of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).

It occurs with the help of enzyme RNA polymerase, which adds nucleotides in the 5' to 3' direction (that is antiparallel to the direction of template strand). It adds the nucleotides in a complementary manner.

For Adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine in the template DNA strand, this enzyme adds Uracil, adenine, cytosine, and guanine respectively.

Thus, DNA is first transcribed into mRNA, which is then converted into particular protein through translation.

Therefore, transcribed and mRNA are the right answers for the given blanks.
