The Central Dogma describes the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to protein, outlining the processes of transcription and translation.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Define transcription in the context of the Central Dogma.

Back

Transcription is the process of synthesizing RNA from a DNA template, where the DNA sequence is copied into messenger RNA (mRNA).
