Q.

The figure gives an important concept in the genetic implication of DNA. Fill the blanks A, B and C.

A) A-Maurice Wilkins, B-Transcription, C-Translation
B) A-James Watson, B-Replication, C-Extension
C) A-Erwin Chargaff, B-Translation, C-Replication
D) A-Francis Crick, B-Translation, C-Transcription
Explanation

Refer to answer (The expression of the genetic material occurs normally through the production of proteins. This involves two consecutive steps. These are transcription and translation. The DNA codes for the production of messenger RNA (mRNA) during transcription. Messenger RNA carries coded information to ribosomes. The ribosomes read this information and use it for protein synthesis. This process is called translation. F.H.C. Crick described this unidirectional flow of information in 1958 as the ‘central dogma of molecular biology’).
