#DAT Question of the Day


The central dogma of biochemistry states that:


a. Genetic information passes from starch to lipids to proteins
b. Genetic information passes from proteins to starch to lipids
c. Information runs from parent DNA to 'daughter' DNA, to RNA, and then to protein
d. Information runs from daughter DNA to parent DNA to RNA, and then to protein
e. Information runs from protein to RNA and then to parent DNA


Answer: C
The central dogma of molecular biology states that genetic information flows from DNA → RNA → Protein.
DNA contains the instructions for making proteins, and these instructions are first copied into RNA (specifically messenger RNA or mRNA) and then used to synthesize proteins. This flow of information is fundamental to understanding how living organisms function.
