In the context of the central dogma, what is the correct order of information flow for protein synthesis in cells?
A
DNA → protein → RNA
B
RNA → DNA → protein
C
DNA replication → transcription → translation
D
DNA → RNA → protein
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the central dogma of molecular biology, which describes the flow of genetic information within a biological system.
Recall that the process starts with DNA, which contains the genetic blueprint for proteins.
Recognize that DNA is transcribed into RNA, specifically messenger RNA (mRNA), in a process called transcription.
Know that the mRNA is then translated into a protein by ribosomes in a process called translation.
Summarize the correct order of information flow as: DNA → RNA → protein.
