Okay, so here's how it works. DNA is read by an RNA polymerase, which "builds" the RNA to be complementary to a portion of the DNA strand. The RNA that is formed here is mRNA. tRNA is a separate thing of its own. Each tRNA molecule has a certain amino acid attached to it. As a ribosome "reads" the mRNA, tRNA molecules' anticodons bond temporarily to the codons of the mRNA, and the ribosome puts together the amino acids (from the tRNA molecules), forming a protein.

So, indirectly, yes.

There are two steps in the process of genes to proteins. The first step is starting at DNA and getting to RNAusing transcription. In transcription the molecules of RNA are produced on the DNA templates in the nucleus. The next step is RNA and getting to proteinsusing translation. In translation, RNAmolecules shipped from the nucleus to the cytoplasm are used as templates for polypeptide assembly.

In short:

DNA --transcription--> RNA--translation--> proteins

Also remember when going from DNA to RNA the T(thymine) is transcript to U(Uracil). Therefore the strand of DNA for example: (where the first column is DNA and the second column is RNA)

A -> U

T -> A

G -> C

C -> G

In gene expression and protein synthesis information flows from?

DNA --> RNA --> Proteins -----------------------------------------That simple.


When RNA becomes protein the process is called?

RNA does not become protein. Messenger RNA transcribes the DNA code and carries it to a ribosome where it is translated by transfer RNA into a sequence of amino acids that will make a protein. The entire process is called protein synthesis.


When DNA is transcribed the product is?

DNA transcription is a process of converting genetic information from DNA to RNA. The RNA may be used to produce proteins if that is what the DNA coded for. In this case, the RNA is called mRNA and the RNA molecule is called a transcription unit. So that would be one answer to this question. ( The process by which the RNA becomes a protein is called translation) Sometimes the DNA does not code for a protein. In these cases the RNA may end up being ribosomal RNA or transfer RNA. These are also possible answers. A general answer might be an RNA molecule corresponding to the DNA molecule that is being transcribed. So the answer is an equivalent RNA sequence for that particular DNA sequence.


What are the sections of DNA that does code for a protein and get to leave the nucleus?

The DNA is copied onto segments called RNA, this RNA is moved into the cytoplasm and is read by a ribosome which then creates a protein from the specific codons ( 3 letter segments ) on the strip of RNA.


What is the process of making mRNA from the code in DNA called In the central theory of gene expression?

The repository of genetic information that begins this sequence. DNA --> RNA--> Protein

What is the correct order dna-RNA-protein or dna-protein-RNA or RNA-protein-dna?

It's DNA - RNA - protein. DNA encoding a gene is transcribed to mRNA or messenger RNA by RNA polymerase. The RNA is then translated into a protein sequences at the ribosome. tRNA's or transfer RNA's act like a dictionary for the translation. They can recognize a code of three nucleotides (a codon) in the RNA and bring the corresponding amino acid to the right place at the ribosome, where it is ligated to the rest of the protein. A protein is a chain of amino acids. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_dogma
