  Nothing screams “big picture” like this next question and, if you don’t get goose bumps reading/answering it, there’s something very wrong with you.     Once researchers identified DNA as the molecule responsible for transmitting heritable traits, they asked how information was transferred from the DNA in the nucleus to the site of protein synthesis in the cytoplasm. Which of the following statements correctly describes the mechanism of information transfer that accomplishes this task in eukaryotes (like us!)?
