October 1, 2017 marks 27 years since the beginning of the Human Genome Project. The goal of the group was to map the entire 3 billions bases and
80,000 genes in the human genome. On April 14, 2003, it was announced
that the goal was accomplished. Using this information, scientists have been
able to predict the risk of genetic diseases and understand the process of
inheritance. Which of the following statements best describes the process of
using the genetic code to produce polypeptides (proteins)?
Translation is used to produce a strand of RNA and proteins from a single strand of DNA.
O RNA produces a strand of DNA through transcription, then the DNA builds a protein molecule
through translation
O A single strand of DNA is used to make mRNA using translation, then the mRNA provides the
template for producing a protein through transcription
O A single strand of DNA is used to produce mRNA through transcription, then translation provides
the code for bonding amino acids to make a protein.
