- DA-Francis Crick, B-Translation, C-Transcription
Correct answer
D. A-Francis Crick, B-Translation, C-Transcription
Step-by-step solution
F. Crick suggested that there is unidirectional flow of information from DNA to RNA to protein shown as below: This sequential transfer of information from DNA to protein via RNA is known as central dogma. Related Theory Certain viruses are rare exceptions to the central dogma. Viruses are infectious particles that reproduce inside cells. Many viruses, such as the tobacco mosaic virus. influenza virus and polio virus, have RNA rather than D N A as their genetic material.
