DNA VS. RNA Protein Synthesis

The DNA molecule, with its four nitrogenous bases, is the (a)   for all proteins that are made in a cell.

Genes are made of (a)   .

The proteins that are made will determine what (a)   show up in the offspring.

The DNA inherited by an organism dictates the synthesis of certain proteins. Proteins are the link between ______ and _______>

• genotype and phenotype

• transcription and translation

• nucleotides and peptides

• aminos acids and phenotypes

The process by which DNA directs the synthesis of proteins.

• digestion

• translation

• gene expression

• transcription

The expression of genes includes two stages:

• transcription and expression

• transcription and translation

• genotypes and phenotypes

• code and expression

A gene is the coded DNA instructions that controls the production of specific (a)   .
