Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
“Gene expression or activation” means ____
A
protein(the trait) is made using DNA’s code.
B
DNA is replicated
C
lipids are stored
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The journey from gene to protein is complex and tightly controlled within each cell. It consists of two major steps: transcription and translation. Together, transcription and translation are known as gene expression.

Detailed explanation-2: -A nucleotide base–a ringed molecule containing nitrogen–hangs off each sugar group, and it’s the sequence of these bases that contains the genetic code for creating proteins.

Detailed explanation-3: -Definition. 00:00. … Gene expression is the process by which the information encoded in a gene is turned into a function. This mostly occurs via the transcription of RNA molecules that code for proteins or non-coding RNA molecules that serve other functions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Like words in a sentence, the DNA sequence of a gene determines the amino acid sequence for the protein it encodes. In the protein-coding region of a gene, the DNA sequence is interpreted in groups of three nucleotide bases, called codons. Each codon specifies a single amino acid in a protein.
