Which of the following sequences is accurate for transcription and translation?
A) DNA tRNA mRNA protein
B) DNA mRNA protein
C) protein tRNA DNA
D) protein tRNA DNA.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transcription is the process of copying DNA into mRNA. Therefore, the correct sequence is DNA (template for transcription) → mRNA (product of transcription). Translation is the process of using the mRNA template to synthesize a protein. Therefore, the correct sequence is mRNA (template for translation) → protein (product of translation). tRNA is involved in translation, bringing amino acids to the ribosomes to assemble a protein, but it does not come before mRNA in the sequence.
