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

Genetic information flow, as per the central dogma of molecular biology, proceeds from DNA to RNA to protein: \(P\): Transcription: DNA is converted into mRNA. \(Q\): mRNA: Messenger RNA production occurs during transcription. \(R\): Translation: mRNA is decoded to form a protein sequence.
