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

  1. A - Erwin Chargaff B - translation C - replication
  2. A - Maurice Wilkins B - transcription C - translation
  3. A - Francis Crick B - translation C - transcription
  4. A - James Watson B - replication C - extension

Answer

(3) A - Francis Crick B - translation C - transcription

Solution

As per NCERT, Francis Crick proposed the Central dogma in molecular biology, which states that the genetic information flows from DNA → RNA → Protein.

⇒ The curved arrow on DNA represents replication (DNA → DNA).

⇒ C: DNA → mRNA is transcription.

⇒ B: mRNA → protein is translation.

∴ A - Francis Crick, B - translation, C - transcription.

Answer: (3)
