The process by which the information in a gene directs the synthesis of a protein is called

Gene expression

Explanation:

The information a living organism needs is embedded in the genes found in the genetic material (DNA) of that organism. These information, however, are stored in the DNA and needs to be used to produce useful products (usually proteins). This process is called GENE EXPRESSION. Gene expression occurs in two steps; transcription and translation.

Transcription is the process whereby the information in the DNA is copied into a RNA molecule. It involves synthesizing a complementary strand of mRNA from a DNA template. This mRNA is then used as a template to direct the production of sequence of amino acids, which determines the protein. Transcription occurs in the nucleus of eukaryotes while it occurs in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes. Translation occurs in the cytoplasm of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

a fossil fuel is a fuel formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing energy originating in ancient photosynthesis.[1] the age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years.[2] fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon and include petroleum, coal, and natural gas.[3] other commonly used derivatives include kerosene and propane. fossil fuels range from volatile materials with low carbon to hydrogen ratios like methane, to liquids like petroleum, to nonvolatile materials composed of almost pure carbon, like anthracite coal. methane can be found in hydrocarbon fields either alone, associated with oil, or in the form of methane clathrates.

the theory that fossil fuels formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over millions of years was first introduced by andreas libavius "in his 1597 alchemia [alchymia]" and later by mikhail lomonosov "as early as 1757 and certainly by 1763".[4] the first use of the term "fossil fuel" was by the german chemist caspar neumann, in english translation in 1759.[5]

in 2017 the world's primary energy sources consisted of petroleum (34%), coal (28%), natural gas (23%), amounting to an 85% share for fossil fuels in primary energy consumption in the world.[6] non-fossil sources in 2006 included nuclear (8.5%), hydroelectric (6.3%), and others (geothermal, solar, tidal, wind, wood, waste) amounting to 0.9%.[7] world energy consumption was growing at about 2.3% per year. in 2015 about 18% of worldwide consumption was from renewable sources.[8]
