Which of the following best characterizes the "Central Dogma" of molecular biology? a) Genes are sequences of nucleotides in DNA and are expressed via transcription followed by translation. b) Every organism on earth has a genome made of double-stranded DNA. c) The information in a gene is expressed via the process of DNA replication. d) A sequence of nucleotides must be edited via RNA processing before it becomes a gene. e) Genes are sequences of amino acids produced via translation.

Which of the following is most accurate about DNA replication and transcription/translation (central dogma/gene expression)? Select one: a. DNA replication occurs in virtually all cells, while transcription/translation occurs in some cells. b. The same enzyme is responsible for DNA replication and transcription/translation. c. DNA replication and transcription/translation produce the same molecules. d. DNA replication occurs in somatic cells while transcription/translation occurs only in gametes. e. DNA replication occurs in some cells, while transcription/translation occurs in virtually all cells.
