Question

The central dogma of molecular biology consists of which of the following steps? a) Ribosomes are involved in the translation process Ob) RNA is translated into proteins O c) All of the above d) DNA is transcribed into RNA e) The enzyme RNA polymerase is involved in transcription

Answer 1

1. The central dogma is 3 step process that provides us with a basic outline about information in the gene is passed through into proteins. It consists of replication, transcription, and translation. Replication is the step where DNA replicates itself. Transcription is the step when DNA is converted to RNA and lastly Translation is the step when RNA gives rise to proteins.

ANSWER- C (All of the above)

2.The given statement regarding RNA that binds proteins and synthesizes RNA is false. The basic function of RNA is carrying out protein synthesis.

ANSWER-B (false)

3. The basic function of lysosomes is digestion and removal of waste products from the body. They contain enzymes that have digestive properties.

ANSWER-A (acid hydrolases, hydrolysis, carbohydrate)

4. The given statement is false. The primary function of mitochondria is to generate energy via the production of ATP. The process they undertake is cellular respiration. Compartmentalization in the mitochondria increases the surface area of it, thus helping in the process of energy generation.

ANSWER-B (false)
