A) replication
B) translation
C) protein synthesis
D) carbohydrate synthesis

Answer 1

The central dogma of molecular biology is centered upon the process of protein synthesis, in which the information from DNA is transcribed and translated, resulting in amino acids being joined into polypeptides.

Answer 2

protein synthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

During the process of transcription DNA is used as a primer to produce a messenger RNA, catalyzed by the enzyme RNA polymerase. This process takes place in the nucleus of a cell.

The mRNA is transported to cytoplasm after processing or what we call splicing, to remove non-coding regions of RNA.

In the cytoplasm the process of translation takes place in the organelles called ribosomes where the tRNA with the anticodons reads the codons on the mRNA forming amino acids that are joined together to form polypeptides and proteins.
