Question

Which of the following statements describes the central dogma of molecular biology?

A. Biological information in a cell passes from DNA to RNA to proteins.
B. Biological information in a cell passes from RNA to proteins to DNA.
C. Biological information in a cell passes from RNA to DNA to proteins.
D. Biological information in a cell passes from proteins to RNA to DNA.

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. Biological information in a cell passes from DNA to RNA to proteins.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a cell, the DNA carries the information contained in genes. Through the process of transcription, the DNA is made into mRNA, and through the process of translation, the mRNA creates an amino acid strand, making a protein. Therefore, the flow of information goes DNA to RNA to proteins.
