Solution
The process by which a protein-coding gene is expressed is best described as: "DNA is used as a template to build a new RNA strand, which is used as a template to build a protein molecule, all within the same cell."
Here's the step-by-step process:
-
Transcription: The first step in gene expression is transcription, which involves copying a gene's DNA sequence to make an RNA molecule. This process is performed by an enzyme called RNA polymerase. It binds to the DNA and separates the DNA strands. It then uses one strand of DNA as a template from which to assemble a complementary strand of RNA.
