Question

Synthesis of any protein in a cell is determined by

• A. Types of ribosomes
• B. Mitochondria
• C. Sequence of nucleotides in DNA
• D. Sugar and phosphate of DNA

Answer 1

The correct option is C Sequence of nucleotides in DNA

According to the central dogma of molecular biology, DNA is transcribed onto RNA which is further changed to protein by the process of translation. The sequence of nucleotides on the DNA leads to the attachment of complementary base pair and forms m-RNA. This base sequence on m-RNA further decides the sequence of nucleotides on proteins.

So, the correct answer is option C.
