Questions and Answers

According to the central dogma of molecular biology, what is the flow of genetic information?

  • RNA makes DNA, and DNA makes protein
  • Protein makes DNA, and DNA makes RNA
  • DNA makes RNA, and RNA makes protein (correct)
  • Protein makes RNA, and RNA makes DNA

What does Francis Crick's version of the central dogma state about the transfer of information from protein to protein?

  • It is impossible (correct)
  • It is not addressed in his version
  • It is only possible under certain conditions
  • It is possible

How does Watson's version of the central dogma differ from Crick's version?

  • Watson emphasizes the transfer of information from protein to nucleic acid, while Crick emphasizes the transfer of information from nucleic acid to protein
  • Watson describes a one-step process while Crick describes a two-step process
  • Watson describes a two-step process (DNA → RNA and RNA → protein) while Crick describes a one-step process (correct)
  • There is no difference between Watson's and Crick's version
