Question

multiple choice question
dna is the template for the synthesis of ______, which is the template for protein synthesis.

○ phosphate groups
○ sugar
○ rna
○ lipids

Explanation:

In the central dogma of molecular biology, DNA acts as a template to synthesize RNA (via transcription). This RNA, specifically messenger RNA (mRNA), then serves as the template for protein synthesis (via translation). The other options (phosphate groups, sugar, lipids) are not involved in this templating role for protein synthesis.

Answer:

RNA
