Question

Which of the following summarises the cental dogma of molecular biology in humans?

• A. DNA transcribed to proteins and proteins translated into RNA.
• B. RNA transcribed to DNA and DNA translated into proteins.
• C. DNA transcribed to RNA and RNA translated into proteins.
• D. Protein transcribed to DNA and translated into RNA

Answer 1

The correct option is C DNA transcribed to RNA and RNA translated into proteins.

The central dogma of molecular biology was proposed by Francis Crick in 1958. According to which, the genetic information “flows” from DNA to RNA to protein. The DNA inside the nucleus transcribes to form mRNA, which then enters into the cytoplasm and translates to form proteins.
