Answer: The correct answer is-

DNA to RNA to proteins

According to the central dogma of biology, transfer of genetic information is a two step process, which includes transcription and translation.

It represents a pathway of protein synthesis, where the genetic material DNA is first transcribed to form mRNA ( messenger RNA) using an enzyme called RNA polymerase. This process is called transcription.

mRNA is then translated to form protein ( polypeptide) at the site called ribosome. This process of conversion of mRNA to protein is called translation.

Thus, the correct pathway for the protein synthesis is-

DNA to RNA to proteins.
