Answer 1

Answer:1. Replication 2. Replication 3. Translation 4. Replication 5. Translation 6. Transcription 7. Translation

Explanation: DNA replication is semi-conservative, meaning that each new copy will have one original strand and one new strand. This uses many proteins and DNA polymerase. Transcription involves RNA polymerase reading a single strand of DNA to produce mRNA. In translation, the mRNA is read to produce a polypeptide chain. tRNA coupled to their amino acid bind in the ribosome, and the new amino acid is transferred to the growing peptide chain. This information movement from DNA to RNA to protein is known as the Central Dogma.
