Study Notes
Central Dogma
- The flow of genetic information in living organisms is described by the Central Dogma.
- This dogma explains the transfer of information from DNA to RNA to protein.
- DNA replicates through a process involving various enzymes.
- Transcription is the process where DNA information is copied into messenger RNA (mRNA).
- mRNA acts as a template carrying genetic codes from DNA (nucleus) to ribosomes in the cytoplasm.
- Ribosomes use mRNA for protein synthesis, a process called translation.
- Proteins are composed of amino acids, arranged in a specific sequence determined by the genetic code in the mRNA molecule.
