Question

This genetic material can be directly translated into protein a. DNA b. Negative-sense single stranded RNA c. Positive-sense single stranded RNA d. Amino acids

Answer 1

This genetic material can be directly translated into protein by “D. Amino Acids”

The genes that is present in DNA helps to encode the protein molecules. In a very simple way we can say that expressing an gene means the manufacturing its corresponding protein. This process is majorly occurring through two steps namely:

1. The information present in DNA is transferred to mRNA (Messenger RNA) by the process known as Transcription. During transcription, the DNA of a gene serves as the template for the complimentary base pairing with the help of RNA Polymerase II which catalyzes the formation of pre-mRNA molecule which corresponds to the mature mRNA.
2. Translation of mature mRNA (It is a single strand copy of gene) into a protein molecule. During translation, the mRNA is read according to the genetic code which relate to the DNA sequence to the amino acids sequence in proteins.
