Question

Which of the following is transcribed and then translated to form a protein product?

Options

• Gene for tRNA

• Intron

• Gene for a transcription factor

• Leader and trailer

Answer 1

Gene for tRNA

Explanation:

The DNA sequence of a gene is "rewritten" in RNA during transcription. To become a messenger, RNA or mRNA, RNA must go through additional processing stages in eukaryotes. The nucleotide sequence in mRNA is translated into a polypeptide sequence during translation (protein chain).
