The figure gives an important concept in the genetic implication of DNA. Fill the blanks A, B and C.

1. A – Francis Crick; B – translation; C – transcription
2. A – Maurice Wilkins; B – transcription; C – translation
3. A – James Watson; B – replication; C – extension
4. A – Erwin Chargaff; B – translation; C – replication

Correct answer: A – Francis Crick; B – translation; C – transcription

Solution

Francis Crick is associated with the central dogma, which describes genetic information flowing from DNA to RNA to protein. In that flow, transcription makes RNA from DNA, and translation makes protein from RNA, so the blanks match the given option.
