question 10 of 25
how is information translated during protein synthesis?
a. from proteins to amino acids
b. from nucleic acids to amino acids
c. from amino acids to nucleic acids
d. from proteins to nucleic acids

Explanation:

During protein synthesis, genetic information is stored in nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). DNA is transcribed into mRNA. Then, during translation, the mRNA (a nucleic acid) provides the code that is translated into a sequence of amino acids (which make up proteins). So the information flow is from nucleic acids (mRNA) to amino acids.

Answer:

B. From nucleic acids to amino acids
