Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What statement best describes the role of DNA in protein synthesis?
A
DNA carries the amino acid to the ribosomes.
B
DNA forms the structural parts of the ribosomes.
C
DNA joins the chains of amino acids to form a protein.
D
DNA contains the information for building individual proteins.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Q. What statement best describes the role of DNA in protein synthesis? DNA carries the amino acid to the ribosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -What Is the Role of DNA in Protein Synthesis? DNA is divided into discrete sections called genes, where one gene codes for one protein. The human genome contains around 20, 000-50, 000 protein-coding genes.

Detailed explanation-3: -To manufacture protein molecules, a cell must first transfer information from DNA to mRNA through the process of transcription. Then, a process called translation uses this mRNA as a template for protein assembly.

Detailed explanation-4: -Protein synthesis is the process in which cells make proteins. It occurs in two stages: transcription and translation. Transcription is the transfer of genetic instructions in DNA to mRNA in the nucleus. It includes three steps: initiation, elongation, and termination.

Detailed explanation-5: -The four crucial roles that DNA plays in cells are replication, encoding information, mutation or recombination, and gene expression. DNA is a long chain of four types of nitrogenous bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C).
