Central Dogma in Biology

Question

What is the central dogma in biology?

Answer 1

The Central Dogma of Biology is all about the flow of genetic information from DNA to protein. The core concept is that genetic code is "stored" in the sequence of DNA. It is then transcribed into RNA, which is then translated into protein. These proteins serve as the expression of the genetic code, and have very distinct functional impacts on the organism.

Answer 2

The central dogma in biology is the transformation from DNA to RNA and then from RNA to protein.

DNA >> RNA >> protein

This happens through two processes: transcription (DNA to RNA) and translation (RNA to protein).

Answer 3

In the expression of genes, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is transcribed into RNA (ribonucleic acid) which is translated into protein. That's it! It sounds overly simple but it is what is meant by "central dogma".
