Here are the correct matches between the terms in Column A and their definitions in Column B:

  1. central dogma: d. describes the two-step process, transcription and translation, by which the information in genes flows into proteins: DNA → RNA → protein

  2. gene expression: a. the process by which possession of a gene leads to the appearance in the phenotype of the corresponding character.

  3. peptide: g. a compound consisting of two or more amino acids linked in a chain, the carboxyl group of each acid being joined to the amino group of the next by a bond of the type -OC-NH-.

  4. protein: b. chain made of individual amino acids.

  5. ribosome: e. site of protein synthesis

  6. RNA: f. a nucleic acid present in all living cells that has a ribose sugar.

  7. transcription: h. the first of several steps of DNA based gene expression in which a particular segment of DNA is copied into RNA.

  8. translation: c. the process in which ribosomes in the cytoplasm or ER synthesize proteins.
