Question

As per the central dogma, how is the flow of genetic information?

Answer 1

Central Dogma:

1. A phenomenon in which the genetic information in DNA is converted into a functional product/protein.
2. The flow of genetic information is from DNA->RNA->Protein.
3. Replication of DNA is defined as copying of the entire genome before the cell divides into two.
4. Copying of information from the template DNA molecule onto a new messenger RNA molecule is called transcription.
5. The formation of protein molecules after reading of the messenger RNA molecule is called translation.
6. For example- a gene sequence on the DNA encoding for color is transcribed into mRNA, which would be further translated into a functional protein that will phenotypically express in flower petals.
