Gene expression proceeds in two major steps: transcription, in which the DNA sequence of a gene is copied into a complementary mRNA molecule, followed by translation, in which that mRNA is read at the ribosome in successive triplets (codons), each specifying a particular amino acid (or a stop signal) according to the genetic code; transfer RNAs bring the correct amino acids to match each codon, and these are joined by peptide bonds to build the polypeptide chain. Transcription (option b) is the earlier, DNA-to-mRNA step, not mRNA-to-protein, so it is incorrect h …
