Answer 1

The correct response that demonstrates the central dogma of molecular biology is:

DNA and RNA hold the code to create proteins that are the key to gene expression.

This statement accurately encapsulates the process of DNA transcription to RNA and then translation to proteins, which is central to understanding gene expression.
