The term "central dogma of molecular biology" was coined by a co-discoverer of the structure of DNA, Francis Crick. The term is used to define how information flows in biological systems. Which of the following statements about DNA, mRNA and proteins provide a simple definition of the "central dogma?"

DNA - mRNA - Protein

Explanation:

The central dogma shows how genetic information flow within the biological system.

According to this theory, genetic information are originally stored in the DNA, this information is encoded in a messenger RNA sequence during the process of transcription and the encoded messages are translated into their respective proteins during the process of translation, otherwise known as protein synthesis.

Hence, the direction of information flow is from the DNA to mRNA and then to Protein.

conifers: Cones

Explanation:

Conifers have cones (hence their name). Cones are the reproductive structures ofthe conifers: Cones are diploid tissue produced by the dominant sporophyte stage. The haploid gametophyte stage develops and produces gametes inside the cone.
