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 DNA is converted into RNA. This is typically unidirectional, meaning it goes from DNA to RNA.
Translation is the process where RNA is used to synthesize proteins. This is also unidirectional, going from RNA to protein.
Identify that the central dogma emphasizes the unidirectional flow of information from DNA to RNA to protein, which rules out multidirectional processes.
