Question

in eukaryotic cells the first step in protein synthesis is the ____. linking of nucleotides to form a polypeptide translation of a dna nucleotide sequence into a sequence of amino acids translation of an rna nucleotide sequence into a sequence of amino acids removal of introns from rna and the stitching together of exons transferring of information from dna to messenger rna

Explanation:

Protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells has two main steps - transcription and translation. Transcription, the first step, is the transfer of information from DNA to messenger RNA (mRNA). The other options describe later steps or incorrect processes. Linking nucleotides forms nucleic - acids not polypeptides. Translation of DNA or RNA to amino - acids is part of the later translation step. Removal of introns is RNA processing after transcription.

Answer:

E. transferring of information from DNA to messenger RNA
