what is the concept behind central dogma of molecular
genetics?

Answer Posted / d.jeeva jothi

Central dogma of Molecular genetics

The "Central Dogma" of Molecular genetics refers to the flow
of genetic information in biological systems. In general,
genetic information flows from DNA to RNA,and then RNA to
protein.

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) acts as the genetic material as
well as genetic information for all living organisms. In
order to study the genetic information in the cellular
process, first the DNA is converted into a RNA (ribonucleic
acid) through a process called transcription. Then the
information carried by the RNA is used to construct a
specific protein or polypeptide through a process called
translation. Each peptide there by performs a specific
cellular process and metabolic function in the cell.
