You're close! The correct order of processes and molecules is:

DNA → RNA → protein

Here's the breakdown:

* Transcription: This process uses DNA as a template to create a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule. It's like copying a recipe from a cookbook onto a notecard.

* Translation: This process uses the mRNA sequence to assemble amino acids into a protein. It's like using the recipe notecard to actually cook the meal.

So, to summarize:

* DNA holds the genetic code.

* Transcription converts the DNA code into RNA.

* Translation converts the RNA code into a protein.
