Which of the following best describes the central dogma of biology?
A
DNA is transcribed into RNA, which is then translated into protein.
B
Proteins are transcribed into RNA, which is then translated into DNA.
C
DNA is translated into protein, which is then transcribed into RNA.
D

Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the central dogma of molecular biology, which describes the flow of genetic information within a biological system.
The central dogma involves two main processes: transcription and translation.
During transcription, the genetic information in DNA is copied into messenger RNA (mRNA).
In translation, the mRNA is used as a template to synthesize proteins, which are chains of amino acids.
Review the options given and identify the sequence that correctly follows the process: DNA -> RNA -> Protein.
