Question

What do you mean by the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology?

Hint:

The Central Dogma is a fundamental principle in molecular biology, explaining how genetic material is used to synthesize proteins.

Answer 1

Step 1: The Central Dogma of Molecular Biology describes the flow of genetic information within a biological system.
Step 2: It states that genetic information flows from DNA to RNA, and from RNA to protein. This is a two-step process that involves:
1. Transcription of DNA into messenger RNA (mRNA).
2. Translation of mRNA into a sequence of amino acids to form proteins.
\[ \text{DNA} \xrightarrow{\text{Transcription}} \text{mRNA} \xrightarrow{\text{Translation}} \text{Protein} \]
