Study Notes
Gene Expression and Protein Synthesis
- The gene is responsible for controlling the production of mRNA needed to make an enzyme.
Transcription
- DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) during the gene-to-protein process.
- RNA polymerase is the molecule responsible for making mRNA during the transcription process.
Translation
- The translation process, converting mRNA into proteins, occurs in the ribosomes.
Central Dogma
- The central dogma of molecular biology describes the flow of genetic information in a cell, outlining the process of genetic information transfer from DNA to proteins.
