Question

The central dogma of molecular biology is centered upon the process of _________, in which the information from DNA is transcribed and translated, resulting in amino acids being joined into polypeptides.
A)replicationB)translationC)protein synthesisD)carbohydrate synthesis

Answer 1

The answer is Protein Synthesis

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is C) Protein synthesis.

According to the central dogma of biology, genetic information is transferred from DNA ( deocxyribonucleic acid) to mRNA ( messenger RNA) to proteins.

It is centered upon the process of protein synthesis that involves two steps that is transcription and translation.

The information from DNA is first transcribed to mRNA, which is then translated (at the site called ribosomes) to form polypeptides ( proteins).
