Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the central dogma of molecular biology, which describes the flow of genetic information within a biological system.
Recognize that the central dogma involves two main processes: transcription and translation.
Transcription is the process where the genetic information in DNA is copied into messenger RNA (mRNA).
Translation is the process where the mRNA is used as a template to synthesize proteins, with the help of ribosomes and transfer RNA (tRNA).
The correct sequence of events according to the central dogma is: DNA is transcribed into RNA, which is then translated into protein.
