In 3-5 sentences, summarize the process of gene expression, starting with DNA and ending with proteins.(4 points)
1 answer
Gene expression is the process by which the information encoded in DNA is used to produce proteins. It begins with the transcription of a specific gene's DNA sequence into a complementary messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule. The mRNA then undergoes translation, where ribosomes read the mRNA sequence and assemble the corresponding amino acids into a protein chain, ultimately resulting in the formation of a functional protein.
