DNA MAKES RNA MAKES PROTEIN

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is a complicated series of steps that make proteins from coded instructions in DNA?
A
plasmid
B
restriction enzyme
C
ligase
D
protein expression
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Most genes contain the information needed to make functional molecules called proteins. (A few genes produce regulatory molecules that help the cell assemble proteins.) The journey from gene to protein is complex and tightly controlled within each cell. It consists of two major steps: transcription and translation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each DNA sequence that contains instructions to make a protein is known as a gene.

Detailed explanation-3: -DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is a long molecule that contains our unique genetic code. Like a recipe book it holds the instructions for making all the proteins in our bodies.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thus, during expression of a protein-coding gene, information flows from DNA
