The Order of the Bases in DNA Determines the Order

Question

The order of the bases in DNA determines the order of the
A) amino acids in DNA.
B) bases in a protein.
C) amino acids in mRNA.
D) bases in mRNA.

Accepted Answer

The order of the bases in DNA determines the order of the bases in mRNA through a process called transcription. mRNA carries this genetic information to the ribosomes where the order of the bases determines the order of amino acids in a protein through a process called translation.
