Which of the following statements correctly describes the sequential flow of genetic information represented by the central dogma of molecular biology?
- A) Genetic information stored in DNA is directly converted into functional proteins, which are then used to synthesize RNA.
- B) Genetic information is permanently maintained in RNA, which is routinely reverse-transcribed into genomic DNA to direct cellular activities.
- C) Genetic information is transcribed from DNA into messenger RNA and subsequently translated from messenger RNA into a polypeptide.
- D) Genetic information is read directly from structural proteins to direct the assembly of RNA, which is then replicated into DNA.
