Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option C

(a)-Replication; (b)-Transcription; (c)-Translation; (d)-Protein

(a)-Replication; (b)-Transcription; (c)-Translation; (d)-Protein

Solution :

The correct option is (a)-Replication; (b)-Transcription; (c)-Translation; (d)-Protein.

The Central Dogma of molecular biology describes the two-step process, transcription and translation, by which the information in genes flows into proteins: DNA → RNA → Protein.

By analyzing the provided flowchart in the image, we can identify each labeled component:
1. (a) Replication: The circular arrow starting and ending at DNA represents DNA replication, the process by which a double-stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules.
2. (b) Transcription: The arrow pointing from DNA to mRNA represents transcription, which is the process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA.
3. (c) Translation: The arrow pointing from mRNA to (d) represents translation, the process in which ribosomes in the cytoplasm synthesize proteins after the transcription of DNA to RNA.
4. (d) Protein: The final product of translation is a polypeptide chain that folds into a functional protein.
