Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Genetic info flows in one direction. Which best represents this flow?
A
DNA-protein-RNA
B
Protein-RNA-DNA
C
RNA-protein-DNA
D
DNA-RNA-protein
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, during expression of a protein-coding gene, information flows from DNA → RNA → protein. This directional flow of information is known as the central dogma of molecular biology .

Detailed explanation-2: -Central dogma. 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-3: -The basic flow of genetic information in biological systems is often depicted in a scheme known as “the central dogma” (see figure below). This scheme states that information encoded in DNA flows into RNA via transcription and ultimately to proteins via translation.

Detailed explanation-4: -In transcription, the information in the DNA of every cell is converted into small, portable RNA messages. During translation, these messages travel from where the DNA is in the cell nucleus to the ribosomes where they are ‘read’ to make specific proteins.
