DNA MAKES RNA MAKES PROTEIN

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is created directly from DNA?
A
tRNA only
B
mRNA only
C
tRNA and mRNA
D
proteins
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the first step, the information in DNA is transferred to a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule by way of a process called transcription.

Detailed explanation-2: -According to central dogma of molecular biology proposed by Crick, DNA undergoes transcription to produce ss mRNA. this is then undergoing a process called as translation. As a result of this process, proteins are synthesized.

Detailed explanation-3: -Portions of DNA Sequence Are Transcribed into RNA The first step a cell takes in reading out a needed part of its genetic instructions is to copy a particular portion of its DNA nucleotide sequence-a gene-into an RNA nucleotide sequence.

Detailed explanation-4: -The product of transcription is RNA, which can be encountered in the form mRNA, tRNA or rRNA while the product of translation is a polypeptide amino acid chain, which forms a protein.
