Verified step by step guidance1
The central dogma of molecular biology describes the flow of genetic information within a biological system.
It states that genetic information is transferred from DNA to RNA through a process called transcription.
During transcription, a segment of DNA is used as a template to synthesize a complementary RNA strand.
The RNA, specifically messenger RNA (mRNA), then serves as a template for protein synthesis in a process called translation.
In translation, the mRNA sequence is read by ribosomes to assemble amino acids into a polypeptide chain, forming a protein.
