What substance translates the genetic code? A. allele B. DNA C. RNA D. protein

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well what do u think it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

???

OpenStudy (ryanwhite499):

What do you think @logan13

OpenStudy (logan13):

@Vianne i think c

OpenStudy (vianne):

Nope :P

OpenStudy (logan13):

a

OpenStudy (ryanwhite499):

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is synthesized from a gene segment of DNA which ultimately contains the information on the primary sequence of amino acids in a protein to be synthesized. The genetic code as translated is for m-RNA not DNA. The messenger RNA carries the code into the cytoplasm where protein synthesis occurs.

OpenStudy (vianne):

It's not RNA XD I accidently wrote RNA..

OpenStudy (ryanwhite499):

No try again

OpenStudy (vianne):

I meant DNA. My bad

OpenStudy (vianne):

Whoops ._. I messed up again...

OpenStudy (ryanwhite499):

If its not RNA its what...

OpenStudy (ryanwhite499):

@logan13 if its not RNA its what

OpenStudy (ryanwhite499):

@logan13 can you please tell us when you have to step away from the computer or any device please. Just to let us know your aware

OpenStudy (ryanwhite499):

Are you still here

OpenStudy (ryanwhite499):

Ok your answer is B.

OpenStudy (ryanwhite499):

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is synthesized from a gene segment of DNA which ultimately contains the information on the primary sequence of amino acids in a protein to be synthesized. The genetic code as translated is for m-RNA not DNA. The messenger RNA carries the code into the cytoplasm where protein synthesis occurs.

OpenStudy (vianne):

I already said DNA..

OpenStudy (logan13):

srry

OpenStudy (logan13):

@ryanwhite499 u were right

OpenStudy (vianne):

how was he right? he picked DNA not RNA...

OpenStudy (ryanwhite499):

If I was right than you should remove his medal and give it to me... lol joking @logan13

OpenStudy (logan13):

he picked rna

OpenStudy (ryanwhite499):

I know and I said DNA

OpenStudy (logan13):

no @vianne give him a medal

OpenStudy (logan13):

u said rna i read ur comment

OpenStudy (logan13):

RNA

OpenStudy (logan13):

see

OpenStudy (ryanwhite499):

That was a text. Its basically explaining both DNA and RNA but giving a concluding statement for DNA

OpenStudy (ryanwhite499):

You said the answer was what @logan13

OpenStudy (vianne):

@logan13 @ryanwhite499 said "DNA" as his final answer. He only explained RNA/DNA.... Read it properly..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

DNA is the genetic code. Protein is the final product. So RNA would be the intermediate step or translator. The information on DNA is transcribed onto RNA and the RNA guides the synthesis of protein according to the original code on the DNA (there's processing of various types involved, but I don't think we need that here)
