DNA is written in the "language" of ______, while protein is written in the "language" of ______.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks about the symbolic languages used by two biomolecules.
Option 1: 'RNA; enzymes' would imply that DNA is written in RNA and that proteins are written in enzymes. This is not correct because the traditional language of DNA is defined by nucleotides in nucleic acids, not RNA as a language, and enzymes are proteins that catalyze reactions rather than the language used to write them.
Option 2: 'amino acids; nucleic acid' flips the actual relationship. While proteins are composed of amino acids, describing DNA as written in amino acids is inaccurate — DNA uses nucleotides in nucleic acids, not amino acids.
Option 3: 'nucleic acid; amino acids' aligns with the standard view: DNA is written in the language of nucleic acids (nucleotides), and proteins are written in the language of amino acids (the building blocks of proteins).
Option 4: 'nucleic acids; polymers' is problematic because while nucleic acids are the language for DNA, calling proteins' language 'polymers' is vague and not the conventional phrasing; proteins are polymers of amino acids, but 'polymers' as a language label misses the specific unit (amino acids) that conveys meaning in protein sequences.
