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.

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.


The process in which DNA makes RNA is called?

Transcription. During transcription, an enzyme called RNA polymerase reads the DNA sequence and synthesizes a complementary RNA molecule. This RNA molecule serves as a template for protein synthesis.

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

What way does genetic information flow?

Genetic information flows from DNA to RNA through a process called transcription, and then from RNA to protein through a process called translation. This flow of genetic information is known as the central dogma of molecular biology.
