Complete the flow chart on central dogma.
Correct Answer :
(a)-Replication; (b)-Transcription; (c)-Translation; (d)-Protein
Solution :
The correct option is (a)-Replication; (b)-Transcription; (c)-Translation; (d)-Protein.
Explanation:
The Central Dogma of molecular biology, proposed by Francis Crick, describes the two-step process (transcription and translation) by which the information in genes flows into proteins:
DNA → RNA → Protein
Based on the provided flow chart in the image:
1. (a) represents Replication: The circular arrow on DNA indicates the process of DNA copying itself to produce two identical DNA molecules.
2. (b) represents Transcription: This is the process where the genetic code of DNA is copied to synthesize a single-stranded messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule.
3. (c) represents Translation: This is the process where the genetic code carried by the mRNA is read by ribosomes to synthesize a polypeptide chain (protein).
4. (d) represents Protein: Proteins are the final functional products generated at the end of the translation process.
Therefore, the complete matching sequence for the labels is:
• (a) - Replication
• (b) - Transcription
• (c) - Translation
• (d) - Protein
