The correct sequence of molecules as a gene goes from coded information in the nucleus to the cell's desired product is a. DNA -> messenger RNA -> transfer RNA -> protein. This process reflects the central dogma of molecular biology which describes the flow of genetic information in a biological system. The sequence details the process from the initial transcription of DNA into messenger RNA (mRNA), followed by the translation of this mRNA into a protein with the help of transfer RNA (tRNA).
