Question

Which flow chart correctly describes steps that lead to the synthesis of proteins?

a
mRNA → tRNA → DNA
b
DNA → mRNA → tRNA
c
tRNA → mRNA → DNA
d
mRNA → tRNA → DNA

Answer 1

The correct flow chart that describes the steps leading to the synthesis of proteins is:

**b. DNA → mRNA → tRNA**

Here's the breakdown of the process:

1. **DNA** is transcribed to produce **mRNA** (messenger RNA) through a process called transcription.
2. **mRNA** is then translated to synthesize proteins with the help of **tRNA** (transfer RNA) during a process called translation.

Therefore, option b accurately represents the flow of genetic information in the synthesis of proteins.
