Central Dogma

Front

What is the Central Dogma of molecular biology?

Back

The Central Dogma describes the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to protein.

Back

Uracil (U) pairs with Adenine (A) in RNA.

Front

Where does DNA replication occur in a eukaryotic cell?

Back

DNA replication occurs in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell.

Front

What is the first step in the Central Dogma process?

Back

Transcription: the process of converting DNA to mRNA.

Front

What are the three main components of the Central Dogma?

Back

DNA, RNA, and protein.

Front

What nucleic acid undergoes replication?

Back

DNA undergoes replication.

Front

What is transcription?

Back

Transcription is the process of synthesizing RNA from a DNA template.

Front

What is translation?

Back

Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA.

Front

What is the role of mRNA in the Central Dogma?

Back

mRNA serves as a messenger that carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the cellular machinery that facilitate the translation of mRNA into proteins.
