Question

The protein amino acid sequence, the RNA base sequence, and the DNA base sequence are interrelated. Which of the following descriptions is correct? A) The DNA base sequence determines the RNA base sequence which, in turn, determines the protein amino acid sequence. B) The RNA base sequence determines the DNA base sequence which, in turn, determines the protein amino acid sequence. C) The DNA base sequence determines the protein amino acid sequence which, in turn, determines the RNA base sequence. D)The RNA base sequence determines the protein amino acid sequence which, in turn, determines the DNA base sequence. E) None of the above statements is correct.

Explanation / Answer

Answer A Correct: The DNA base sequence determines the RNA base sequence which, in turn,
determines the protein amino acid sequence.

DNA carries the code for all proteins; RNA is the go-between
