All organisms undergo protein synthesis. The first step of protein synthesis is the

The correct answer will be - transcription of the gene followed by translation of the transcript product

Explanation:

The proteins in organisms are synthesised only when the cell receives the stimulus to synthesize it. The sequence of the amino acids of proteins is determined by the sequence of triplets of nucleotide bases or codons on the gene.

So the synthesis of proteins requires two processes which can convert the sequence of bases to proteins.

The first step is known as transcription which converts the gene to a transcript molecule called mRNA. The mRNA moves out from the nucleus to the cytosol where the molecule gets translated to the amino acids. These amino acids join via a peptide bond to form the protein.

Thus, transcription of the gene followed by a translation of the transcript product is the correct answer.
