Question

DIRECTIONS: Drag & drop to complete the sentences below describing the flow of genetic information in cells.

___ is the process of recording the base sequence from DNA into mRNA, which takes place in the ___. ___ is the process of assembling a protein from an mRNA transcript, which takes place in the ___.

Answer 1

- Transcription, nucleus

- Translation, cytoplasm (ribosome)

Step-by-step explanation:

Two major processes are involved in the expression of a gene in living organisms and they are: transcription and translation. Transcription is the process whereby mRNA transcript is synthesized from a DNA template. In the process of transcription which occurs in the NUCLEUS, the base sequence from DNA is recorded into the mRNA.

On the other hand, translation is the process whereby the mRNA transcript is used to synthesize an amino acid sequence. In other words, translation involves the process of assembling a protein from an mRNA transcript in an organelle called RIBOSOME located in the cytoplasm.
