Answer:

The correct answer is c. the flow of genetic information in cells, from DNA genes to specific proteins.

Step-by-step explanation:

The central dogma of molecular biology contains two different processes that are transcription and translation by which the information moves to next level.

Central dogma says that the information of DNA is transferred to RNA by a process called transcription and this information in RNA helps in making protein through the translation process.

Therefore genetic information moves from DNA to RNA and RNA to protein by two process transcription and translation. Each codon that code for protein is same and universal in all organisms. So the correct answer is c.
