Answer 1

Here are the terms matched with their correct definitions:

1. central dogma: h. describes the two-step process, transcription and translation, by which the information in genes flows into proteins: DNA → RNA → protein
2. gene expression: b. the process by which possession of a gene leads to the appearance in the phenotype of the corresponding character.
3. peptide: e. 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: d. chain made of individual amino acids.
5. ribosome: g. site of protein synthesis
6. RNA: f. a nucleic acid present in all living cells that has a ribose sugar.
7. transcription: a. 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.
