Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(A\) -Transcription, \(B\) - Translation, \(C\) - Francis Crick

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(a) : 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 undirectional flow of information in \(1958\) as the ‘central dogma of molecular biology’.
