The answer is the fourth one: the "central dogma".

Explanation for each option:

  1. The common organic chemistry of life: This is a broad term that refers to the chemical processes and compounds that are common to all living organisms, but it is not specifically related to the process of protein synthesis.

  2. Dehydration synthesis: This is a chemical reaction that involves the joining of two molecules with the removal of water. While dehydration synthesis is involved in forming peptide bonds during protein synthesis, it is not the term used to describe the overall process of protein synthesis.

  3. Chargaff's rule: This rule relates to the base pairing in DNA, stating that the amount of adenine equals thymine and the amount of cytosine equals guanine. It is important for DNA structure but not directly related to the process of protein synthesis.

  4. The "central dogma": This is the correct answer. The central dogma of molecular biology describes the flow of genetic information within a biological system, typically from DNA to RNA to protein. It outlines the process of transcription and translation, which are key steps in protein synthesis.

In summary, the "central dogma" is the correct term for the outline of the process of protein synthesis in molecular biology.
