Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the central dogma of molecular biology?
A
RNA-protein-DNA
B
RNA-DNA-protein
C
DNA-protein-RNA
D
DNA-RNA-prtein
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The central dogma of molecular biology is a theory stating that genetic information flows only in one direction, from DNA, to RNA, to protein, or RNA directly to protein.

Detailed explanation-2: -The central dogma of molecular biology suggests that the primary role of RNA is to convert the information stored in DNA into proteins.

Detailed explanation-3: -In molecular biology, Francis Crick postulated the Central Dogma. It states that the genetic information flows from DNA to RNA to Protein. Transcription is the process of copying DNA into RNA. The translation process “decodes” RNA to specify the amino acid sequence of a protein.

Detailed explanation-4: -The central dogma (CD) of molecular biology is the transfer of genetic information from DNA to RNA to protein.
