For a protein-coding gene, which sequence correctly connects DNA information to a polypeptide?
Answer & explanation
Transcription produces RNA; translation uses messenger RNA to assemble the polypeptide.
Transcription and translation are distinct stages with different products. DNA replication copies genetic material rather than expressing a protein-coding gene. Later folding and processing can still be needed for a functional protein.
