Central Dogma
Multiple Choice
What is the central dogma of molecular biology?
A
RNA is transcribed into DNA, which is then translated into protein.
B
DNA is translated directly into protein without RNA involvement.
C
DNA is transcribed into RNA, which is then translated into protein.
D
Proteins are transcribed into RNA, which is then translated into DNA.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the central dogma of molecular biology, which describes the flow of genetic information within a biological system.
Recognize that the central dogma involves two main processes: transcription and translation.
In transcription, DNA is used as a template to synthesize RNA. This process occurs in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
In translation, the RNA (specifically mRNA) is used as a template to synthesize proteins. This process occurs in the ribosome.
The correct sequence of the central dogma is: DNA is transcribed into RNA, which is then translated into protein.
