Trace a stated gene-expression model practice

Use a supplied DNA-to-RNA-to-protein model and a small codon table without claiming that every DNA change changes a protein.

Opening your practice adventure…

Try a sample

A model gives the order DNA → RNA → protein. Which process label belongs to RNA → protein? The prompt defines translation as building protein from RNA instructions.

  1. Translation
  2. Diffusion
  3. Evaporation
  4. Condensation
See the answer & why

Translation

The supplied definition directly labels the RNA-to-protein step.

A little hint: Follow the supplied information pathway and codon table; do not infer an amino acid that the table does not give.

A teaching tip

Follow the supplied information pathway and codon table; do not infer an amino acid that the table does not give.
