Answer:
C. DNA to RNA to protein
Explanation:
This question is asking about protein synthesis. Let’s analyze the process.
It begins in the nucleus. DNA is too large to pass through the nucleus, so something has to be done. DNA is “unzipped” using an enzyme called polymerase. Nucleotides attach to create a new strand of messenger RNA, in the process of transcription. The mRNA is small enough to pass through the nucleus.
So the first step is DNA to RNA.
Then, the mRNA makes it way to the ribosome. Here, translation takes place. Transfer RNA reads the mRNA and matches a set of three bases (codon) to an anticodon. The tRNA attaches amino acids based on the codon. A protein will form and bend into a specific shape.
So, the next step is RNA to protein.
Overall, the process is DNA to RNA to protein. Choice C is correct.
