Stage 1
Answer 4 out of 5 questions correctly.
Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, contains an organism's inherited genetic information. Specific DNA sections, called genes, contain instructions for producing a variety of proteins that determine traits and help the body function.
In eukaryotic cells, DNA is confined to the nucleus, whereas proteins are assembled from amino acids at ribosomes outside the nucleus. Special molecules of ribonucleic acid, or RNA, must carry a copy of a gene's instructions from the nucleus to the ribosomes. Then, the ribosomes use the genetic code to assemble a protein.
This process of creating proteins from DNA with the help of RNA molecules is called protein synthesis.
