Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand the central dogma of molecular biology, which describes the flow of genetic information within a biological system.
The central dogma involves three main processes: transcription, translation, and protein synthesis.
Transcription is the first step where the DNA sequence of a gene is copied into RNA.
Translation is the second step where the RNA sequence is used to synthesize proteins.
DNA replication is a separate process that occurs to duplicate the DNA, ensuring that each new cell receives a complete set of genetic information. It is not part of the central dogma sequence of transcription and translation.
