Question:
Which of the options has correct identification of ‘P’, ‘Q’, and ‘R’ in the illustration of ‘Central Dogma’ given below?
Which of the options has correct identification of ‘P’, ‘Q’, and ‘R’ in the illustration of ‘Central Dogma’ given below?
Show Hint
The central dogma highlights the processes of transcription and translation, with mRNA acting as the intermediary between DNA and protein synthesis.
Updated On: Jan 13, 2026
- \(P\) – Replication, \(Q\) – mRNA, \(R\) – Transcription
- \(P\) – Translation, \(Q\) – mRNA, \(R\) – Transcription
- \(P\) – Replication, \(Q\) – mRNA, \(R\) – Translation
- \(P\) – Transcription, \(Q\) – mRNA, \(R\) – Translation
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
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.
