Answer :

The correct path from genes to proteins is:

DNA → mRNA → protein

Here's a breakdown of the process:

1. DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid): This is where genetic information is stored in the form of genes. Genes contain instructions for making proteins.

2. mRNA (Messenger Ribonucleic Acid): During transcription, the information from a gene in the DNA is transcribed into mRNA. This process occurs in the cell nucleus.

3. Protein: mRNA leaves the nucleus and enters the cytoplasm where it serves as a template for protein synthesis during translation. Ribosomes read the mRNA codons and assemble the corresponding amino acids to form a protein.

So, the correct order is DNA → mRNA → protein.
