Identify the process described as the one-way transfer of genetic information from DNA to mRNA (through transcription) and then from mRNA to protein (via translation), as outlined by a scientist known for this concept.

1. Francis Crick, translation, transcription
2. James Watson, replication, transcription
3. Rosalind Franklin, transcription, translation
4. Erwin Chargaff, translation, replication

Correct answer: Francis Crick, translation, transcription

Solution

The question describes the central dogma of molecular biology proposed by Francis Crick, which explains the unidirectional flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA (transcription) and then to protein (translation).
