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

1 answer

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.
