Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In the context of the central dogma, what does 'translation' refer to?
  • Step 1: Understand that the central dogma of molecular biology explains how genetic information flows from DNA to RNA to proteins.
  • Step 2: Know that 'translation' is one of the key processes in this flow.
  • Step 3: Realize that translation occurs after the process called transcription, where DNA is converted into messenger RNA (mRNA).
  • Step 4: Learn that during translation, ribosomes read the sequence of the mRNA.
  • Step 5: Understand that ribosomes use this mRNA sequence to assemble amino acids in the correct order to form a protein.
  • Step 6: Remember that proteins are essential for many functions in the body, and translation is crucial for their production.
