Answer:

Nucleus

Step-by-step explanation:

This is in reference to the central dogma of biology: DNA --> RNA --> Protein. DNA is replicated and then transcribed into RNA (which is where it becomes mRNA) which is then sent to a ribosome which is then translated and then created into protein.

Another definition of central dogma of biology is:

(transcribed)Transcription --> Translation --> Protein
