Question

Which of the options has correct identification of ‘P’, ‘Q’, and ‘R’ in the illustration of ‘Central Dogma’ given below?

• A. \(P\) – Replication, \(Q\) – mRNA, \(R\) – Transcription
• B. \(P\) – Translation, \(Q\) – mRNA, \(R\) – Transcription
• C. \(P\) – Replication, \(Q\) – mRNA, \(R\) – Translation
• D. \(P\) – Transcription, \(Q\) – mRNA, \(R\) – Translation

Hint:

The central dogma highlights the processes of transcription and translation, with mRNA acting as the intermediary between DNA and protein synthesis.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The central dogma of molecular biology describes the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to protein: \(P\): Transcription – DNA is transcribed into mRNA. \(Q\): mRNA – Messenger RNA is synthesized during transcription. \(R\): Translation – mRNA is translated into a protein sequence.
