SSC CGL 2025 PYQ — Question 35

SSC CGL - 16 Sep 2025 - Shift 3 • General Awareness • Q35

Which of the following sequences correctly represents flow of genetic info?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. DNA --> RNA --> Protein.

This sequence represents the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology, proposed by Francis Crick. Information stored in DNA is first copied into RNA, messenger RNA (mRNA) specifically, through a process called Transcription. This RNA then travels to the ribosomes, where the code is read and used to assemble amino acids into a specific Protein during Translation. This flow ensures that the genetic "blueprint" in the nucleus is accurately expressed as functional molecules that perform cellular tasks.
