C
DNA to RNA to Protein
D
DNA to Protein to RNA
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the central dogma of molecular biology, which describes the flow of genetic information within a biological system.
The central dogma states that genetic information flows from DNA to RNA to Protein.
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) serves as the template for RNA (ribonucleic acid) synthesis in a process called transcription.
RNA then serves as the template for protein synthesis in a process called translation.
Therefore, the correct sequence of information flow is DNA to RNA to Protein, which is the basis for gene expression in cells.
