Central Dogma

The central dogma of biology is the fundamental principle governing the flow of genetic information. It outlines that DNA serves as the central repository of genetic instructions. Transcription converts DNA into mRNA, carrying the encoded information. Translation then occurs, using mRNA as a template to synthesize proteins. This sequential process—DNA to mRNA to protein—underlies the transmission of genetic traits and the vital functions of living organisms. [Template description adapted from GPT3.5, 2023]
