Question

5) Which of these explanations best describes how a gene is expressed to make a protein? A) The instructions in DNA are used to produce an RNA molecule that is used to build a protein at the ribosome. B) The DNA copies its entire genome into RNA, which is then broken into gene components that are translated at the ribosome. The specific gene that codes for a protein leaves the nucleus of a cell and travels through the cytoplasm to the ribosome. D) A specific gene is removed so that it can be copied and then transcribed into RNA, which is used to build the protein in the nucleus.

Answer

The instructions in DNA are used to produce an RNA molecule that is used to build a protein at the ribosome.

  • Ask clarifying questions. Is there any given information about the four options? If not, then provide all four option descriptions.
  • Q: What are the options? A: The options are: A) The instructions in DNA are used to produce an RNA molecule that is used to build a protein at the ribosome. B) The DNA copies its entire genome into RNA, which is then broken into gene components that are translated at the ribosome. The specific gene that codes for a protein leaves the nucleus of a cell and travels through the cytoplasm to the ribosome. C) A protein is built directly from DNA in the nucleus. D) A specific gene is removed so that it can be copied and then transcribed into RNA, which is used to build the protein in the nucleus.
  • Q: Which option best describes how a gene is expressed to make protein? A: Option A is the correct answer to this question because it describes the correct process of DNA instructions being used to produce an RNA molecule that is used to build a protein at the ribosome.
