Q87 / 180 · NEET 2016 (Phase 2) · Chemistry

The central dogma of molecular genetics states that the genetic information flows from:

  • A
    Amino acids → Proteins → DNA
  • B
    DNA → Carbohydrates → Proteins
  • Correct answer
    C
    DNA → RNA → Proteins
  • D
    DNA → RNA → Carbohydrates

Solution

The central dogma of molecular biology proposes a unidirectional or one-way flow of information from DNA to RNA (transcription) and from RNA to protein (translation). The concept was given by Crick.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
