Solution

Central dogma

  1. The method by which DNA instructions are translated into useful products is known as the "Central Dogma." Francis Crick, who discovered the structure of DNA, originally put up the idea in 1958.
  2. The fundamental tenet of molecular biology holds that RNA copies the DNA code, which includes the instructions for building a protein.
  3. The instructions are then used by RNA to produce a protein. Briefly stated, the process is DNA to RNA to Protein.
  4. As a result of their extreme primitivism and RNA-based genetic makeup, retroviruses are an exception to the Central Dogma.
  5. Later, this is changed into proteins, double-stranded DNA, and ultimately back to RNA. Even prions are thought to go against the main principle.
