Working
Proposed by Francis Crick, the central dogma of molecular biology describes the standard directional flow of genetic information within a cell:
- DNA -> RNA (Transcription): the genetic information encoded in a gene's DNA sequence is copied into a complementary messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule by the enzyme RNA polymerase.
- RNA -> Protein (Translation): the mRNA sequence is read by ribosomes (with the help of tRNA) in sets of three nucleotides (codons), and each codon specifies a particular amino acid, which are joined together to build a polypeptide/protein. …
