Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the central dogma of molecular biology, which describes the flow of genetic information within a biological system.
The central dogma states that genetic information flows from DNA to RNA to Protein.
DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) serves as the template for RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) synthesis in a process called transcription.
RNA then serves as the template for protein synthesis in a process called translation.
Therefore, the correct flow of genetic information according to the central dogma is: DNA → RNA → Protein.
