Answer: DNA to RNA to Protein.
- A Protein to RNA to DNA
- B RNA to DNA to Protein
- C DNA to RNA to Protein
- D DNA to Protein to RNA
Correct answer: C. DNA to RNA to Protein
Explanation: The central dogma proposed by Francis Crick states that genetic information flows from DNA to RNA to protein.
Helicase unwinds the double helix at the replication fork; one new strand (leading) is synthesised continuously toward the fork, while the other (lagging) must be made in short, separate Okazaki fragments because DNA polymerase only adds nucleotides 5'→3'.
Concept context
DNA structure, replication, transcription, translation, the genetic code, and gene regulation (lac operon). The single most important chapter for NEET molecular biology.
