c. Proteins

O

D. DNA

Answer: Proteins

Explanation: Proteins are produced in a process by which the genetic information in an mRNA sequence is converted into a polypeptide chain. The first step in the process of protein synthesis is transcription. Transcription is a process by which the genetic message encoded in a DNA is copied into an mRNA. Transcription takes place in the nucleus. After transcription, the mRNA leaves the nucleus and enters the ribosome where translation takes. In the ribosome, the mRNA sequence is used to make a protein. The genetic information encoded in the mRNA strand is converted into a polypeptide chain. The newly synthesized polypeptide chain undergoes posttranslational modifications to become a biologically functional protein.
