[Campbell Biology P.57] Which of the following correctly describes the sequence of processe... | Practice Question

Which of the following correctly describes the sequence of processes involved in gene expression, as illustrated in Figure 1.8?

  • A: Transcription → Translation → Protein Folding
  • B: Translation → Transcription → Protein Folding
  • C: Protein Folding → Transcription → Translation
  • D: DNA Replication → Transcription → Translation

Explanation

Figure 1.8 illustrates the central dogma of molecular biology, showing DNA being transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into a chain of amino acids, which subsequently folds into a functional protein. This sequence is Transcription → Translation → Protein Folding.
